Bento Box Baby Quilt Size Up For Quick and Easy

Use Just One Bento Box Block For A Sweet Baby Quilt.

Baby quilts are usually quick and easy due their size. Why not use a bento box block, size it up and choose a cute print like this Giraffe fabric. With 12 cuts only, this bento box comes together quick and looks great with any print.

 

Make a bento box quilt in any size with as many or as few boxes as you choose. Small blocks start at 6″ square. 80 blocks will render a nice sized quilt at 48″ x 60″. Simply double your strips and make up 12″ blocks. Then 40 squares are needed for the same size quilt. Go scrappy and use bright colorful prints for a busy fun quilt or choose specifics like this cute giraffe fabric.

 

To make a giant bento box, using just one supersized block, simply take a 9″ block and size up. Use just four prints for the top. Tones of grey, along with green and grey polka dots and a giraffe print for extra baby quilt charm. The entire top consists of no more than 12 cuts! Big strips sew up quick.

 

Use remainder of fabric for the backing, or create a random design. A list of strip sizes can be found at Quilts By Me, and a quick tutorial as to how it was all figured out.

The Bento Box Expanded Blocks and Quilt Sizes can be found in Brookshiers Design Studio pattern Bento Box, with block sizes for miniature quilts, wall and baby quilts. To make the giraffe baby quilt, use the 9″ bento block and multiply all fabric strips by 4.
