Please share the name of the pattern. I know a few posts back it was confused with the bento box. I have lots of batiks and would like to use same pattern.[QUOTE=Boston1954;7813464]Yes, this is what happens when I turn on the sewing machine before the computer. ( ha, I bet you were thinking there was a problem)
I told myself I wanted to get something done this week, and I did. Of course this is just the top, but that is still quite a bit of work, as all of you know. It's all batiks and inspired from a picture I saw online. 81 1/2 x 62 inches. I love deep rich colors, don't you?
I did the first two blocks and had to rip one of them out twice. Then I realized the corners are the same thing just turned a bit. So, I employed a different strategy and it is wonderful. While I worked on it, I thought of many names for it, and finally decided to name it

Thanks so much for all the wonderful and amusing comments.

Yes, I am always happy to share patterns and ideas. I have gotten so many wonderful ideas right here. When I looked at the one I saw online I realized that the corner sections were all the same thing, just turned one quarter from each other. I wanted large blocks so I cut my pieces 3 x 3, 3 x 5 1/2, and 3 x 8. It is an easy pattern and just cries for lots of color. I did not have any jelly rolls so I just cut from my stash.
My blocks ended up being 17 1/2 inches or thereabouts. By the way, the light beige is not batik. I forgot that when I posted yesterday.
Have fun, and be sure to show me what you come up with.
