It's a Bento Box pattern which I doubt I'll ever do again. Matching up seams is something I've yet to perfect, so I really had no business going the Bento Box route in the first place! It's quilted using a meandering pattern a bit larger than I'm used to which makes it a little less crinkly.
I quilted it with a light pink thread that matches the solid pink back and the whole thing measures 41" x 55". I'm happy to be at the point where I can fold this one up and put it away until the shower rolls around. It's been keeping me from some improv quilting that I really want to try, but am nervous to ruin!
Question: Can you even ruin an improv quilt?~Sara

i don't think you can ruin improv...and this bento box is so pretty. perfect for a new little girl
No, you can't ruin improv, but it almost always comes out different than you see it in your head - but that's part of the adventure:) If you don't like it, there's always the seam ripper. Go for it!!!
This quilt is so pretty and very girly, just perfect as a shower gift :-)
It would be fun to see an improv quilt!
Love it! I can't believe how straight it looks. I'm impressed.
I say no, you can't ruin an improv quilt. Can't wait to see your first attempt.
Sara,
It is gorgeous! I like the colors!! I didn't think that the bento was difficult on the seams. Maybe I did mine differently. You'll like improve, but it is addictive, once you start, you cannot stop ;)
So pretty, I LOVE it!!
Very sweet and pretty. I was going to say that you can't ruin an improv quilt, but somehow I think I could find a way ;)
Hey Sara, what does the back look like?

Thank you so much for the sweet comments, everyone! It's nice to have people drop by that appreciate the work that goes in to making a quilt!
Donna - the back is just a solid pink that matches the light pink on the front. I figured the front was busy enough that I should take it easy on the back! I like a solid back.
Lovely Sara! The Bento seams all look like they line up to me! You are so organized to be finishing the quilt this early for a December shower...we all know that the Christmas making deluge will start soon. Best to get this lovely quilt under your belt.
Can't wait to see what you do for your improv quilt!
