The Start of Something Good...

Ages ago, I was inspired by this post and I determined that I wanted to make a Bento box quilt too. Then I spotted another example of this design over at Crazy Mom Quilts and I knew that this was a quilt begging to be made. After deciding to use this collection of fat quarters...

I cut and stitched up the blocks for my quilt top this weekend. Here's my blocks all lined up, waiting for me to clear space on the floor to lay them out.
The colours and patterns I've decided to combine having me feeling rather bold, but I'm so excited to share my latest project with you that I couldn't wait to give you a sneak peek.

Wish me luck on deciding how to arrange the final layout for the quilt top! ;o) I'll have more pictures soon.

    Looks lovely. I had to laugh when I saw the tin of fat quarters. I used the same set last year for this quilt. http://hobbymommy.blogspot.com/2008/02/two-of-kind-finished.html
