Finish #2 for January. I finished the hand stitching last night on the binding of this batik Bento Box quilt. It is 56.5" x 80". There isn't a pattern for this version. I just used measurements that I wanted to make the blocks. Here is a mini tutorial on the way I assembled the blocks.
I bought the batik that I used for backing on sale a few years ago.
Finish #3 for January. I finished the machine stitched binding on this batik Trip Around the World last night too. It has 120 different fabrics, 5 different fabrics for each color ring.Here is a post about mug rugs where I explain how I do the binding. The only difference is that I cut the strips wider for a large quilt and sew it on with a 3/8" seam.
The batik backing is another good sale purchase. The quilt is 66" x 91".
This post shows the fabric choices and the size of the pieces when I was first working on it.
The vertical line quilting drew it in about 3.5" in width.
