Next, here is the array of fabrics I’ll be using for my Bento Box quilt, in pairs, including the new fabrics I bought this week:
Here are the six Bento Box blocks (say that three times fast) I’ve put together so far, unmixed up:

Pinwheels! This is an odd picture (per usual) because the top of it looks sort of faded. I hope I’ll have a better picture later.

Send me your quilting ideas, please!
