Wednesday Working — A Bento Box Quilt

Posted on 01/01/2025 by Andrew Reynolds

Happy New Year!!! The holidays are basically over, unless you observe Epiphany, which I sometimes do. That means it’s time to get back to work on stuff. Last Saturday Heather and I took a trip to the fabric shop and I bought some fabric to start a new quilt using an old pattern I have call a bento box. This will be a lap quilt that likely I’ll give away. Here’s the first block I did:

The other fabric will be a second color set for the next blocks. Since it’s a lap quilt, there will only be 9 of these 15 inch blocks.

I’ve do a little woodworking lately, but my shop is currently stuff with Christmas decoration boxes so until all the decorations get put back in storage, my woodworking will be a bit limited.

That’s it for this week — if you need me I’ll be at the cutting table.

    Lovely work, and lovely colours! One of these days I hope I’ll find time to sew again – your posts remind me of how much I enjoy it. 🙂

    My wife likes to leave the Christmas decorations up longer than I do. I think they lose their magic once we reach New Years Day. But shoot, I didn’t consider Epiphany. If she played that card I’d have no choice but to consent to the extra days.

    I did some editing (Meadowlark Songs: A Motherline Legacy, mostly free verse), slogged around our “loop” twice, and enjoyed leftovers!
