From Boring to Bento Boxes

I was trying to use some fabric in my stash and was risking a truly bland quit. Too many prints with similar scale and color. 


So I thought adding some color would help. But still, yawn. 


After several inspiration searches through blogland and Pinterest, I decided to try a Bento Box quilt. 



Yes! I think I'm on to something here. I'll never let quilt blahs get me down. 

Happy Sewing!

Indecision

I have had a scrappy tumbler quilt waiting to be bound for months.  I just couldn't make myself trim the ends.  My mom mentioned that she would love to see it trimmed and bound around those tumblers. But I'm sure I'll give the quilt to a friend or family member who wouldn't have any idea about how hard that was to do.  

So finally I did it.

I marked a straight line and I CUT IT.















.

Then, I bound it and I'm happy to say that it's done.


A finished quilt is the very best kind of quilt. 

Happy sewing!
