Finally another finish from the UFO pile, a wacky bento box swap. I added some Kona solids and a few Go baby! swap fabrics from a FRMQ Guild swap and voila!

From the front, you really can't see the FMQ at all
|
 |
| Even in a close up, it's hard to see |
 |
| But from the back, the FMQ really stands out |
 |
| Each Bento box section has a different flower |

wow, the quilting is amazing, you are really getting good at that! :) Congrats on a UFO finish!
ReplyDeleteI may have to rethink the layout I have partially done with my bento swap blocks because yours is so much better!! Love the quilting, you must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is incredible. I'm glad you showed close ups of the back. The optical illusion created by the flowers is really cool. I love the stylized bleeding hearts too.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the quilting shows off like that on the back! Makes our hard work worth it. I have made a bento box quilt, I did it the long hard way without looking at directions, but it did turn out right. This is a great looking quilt, patch yourself on the back for a nice finish!
ReplyDeleteoh I love this one! The blocks, the colors with the grey, the quilting!! Beautiful quilt :-)
ReplyDeleteNot sure if the other comment went through or evaporated . . . first time visiting you - love, love, love this quilt (and the two college quilts are AWESOME).
ReplyDeleteWOW! I know I am a bit late to seeing this, but your quilting is perfect for this piece AND it is really, really fun! Love it.
