    Default I Might Figure It Out

    It seems easy enough when I look at it. I do believe that I can figure out what to sew next to what. I don't have any instructions. In fact I don't even know the name, but it sure is calling to me. Loudly! I have so many wonderful batiks that would go well here. I sort of want to get started right away, but do not want to mess it up.

    It's a bento box quilt. Super easy, I did one a long time ago, no pattern!

    I just grabbed a sheet of graph paper & sketched it out - pretty straight forward. Will be beautiful in batiks.

    You're welcome boston! I don't remember right now how I did it, but yup, graph paper is one way to do it. I always outline my quilt blocks in excel LOL ... I just highlight the squares the colour I want them, and then add the lines and voila ... one block all done!

    Do it easy! I did 2x2, 2x3 and 2x4 ... (adding 1/2 inch seam allowance of course) ... everything lines up really nice!

    It's a great quilt to use scraps up too!

    Have fun!

    Draw it out on grid paper. I did a woven pattern and it was easy to get lost without my drafted pattern.
