It almost looks like a Bento Box quilt.

Yes it is a Bento Box, except you cut it differently. I saw it on a blog and now can't find who to credit it to, sorry. Normally it is cut into equal quarters, but this is cut 1.5 inches from the edge of the center square (which is 5 inches) thus you get a 1.5 inch and a 3.5 inch square and two rectangles in the center.

Pass one on the frame does the top of each logo and pass two does the bottom of the logo carefully joining each batman. Pic #3 is how it shows on the quilt. Working so far, only a million more passes to go, LOL! Love my Vintage machines.

You did a great job both in using your vintage 201-2 and creating your own logo panto. My hat is off to you.

And, Pennycandy, your QAYG is beautiful. Great job.
