Design Wall (Correction: Design Floor!) Monday!



This is what I have been busy with this last little while.  I have been turning a pile of batik samples from the "By the pound" sale into a bento box quilt.  This will be double bed size and I am just to the point of stitching the top together.  It is scrappy as I used only samples which are a little bigger than a fat eighth and sometimes almost fat quarter size.  Several firsts for this quilt.  Firstly, I have never used batiks before but it was a special request so what is a girl to do!?  Secondly, this is my first bento box quilt and I have to say it is a lot of fun and the blocks go together really quickly.  Sorry about the quality of the pictures but the downstairs living room does not have the best photo lighting!  I will link up with Judy's Design Wall Monday!  Check it out!
