Sharon, that's beautiful! I love the colors and the placement. Hope your grandson & his wife love it!

Thank you, Donna. It really went quickly with the blocks being so large to start with. I might use this pattern using a kids I Spy sort of thing. It was fun to do and for me, at this point in time, that's what quilting is about.

Thats really cool...wouldn't that be good for scrap strips?

How nice -- what a neat effect. Another great idea for how to use "large prints" effectively.

I love the colors and how the square quarters create a pattern.

I like that a lot. It has a lot of graphic appeal with the light and dark.

Thank you. Starting with a 16" block and then cutting to 4 8" blocks made this top go really fast. I really enjoyed doing it and hope to be able to do another one. I bought the fleece for the backing yesterday and want to get it washed tomorrow so I can start getting it together. My daughter is getting a sewing machine from her SIL today, so I'll check that over and see if it's something I can use or if I will need to go out and buy one.

Here is Sharron's quilt using the bento box pattern. Hope it helps

Jean, You have a good memory!!!! I had forgotten I made this!

Looking at it now, almost 2 years later, I think the center blocks should have had a better light and dark look to them.

I just remembered someone doing a really nice quilt that inspired me to do one in country colors. Mine isn't quilted yet, but it is a very easy fun quilt to do.

Jean, Hope you post a picture of your quilt! I get lots of inspiration from pictures posted and then tweak them to make them 'my way.' I've found that I really don't like long drawn out patterns that take forever to make (although, I've done them in the past) and this one helps to use up scraps.
