I matched up all the pairs for my Bento Box Quilt. I will make 63 12" blocks and arrange them in 9 rows of 7 for a Queen Sized quilt that will measure about 84" x 108". So here they are:
I always think it's interesting to see how the components of a quilt take up space as the quilt grows. Here, 126 strips make a stack 4-1/4" high. And I haven't repeated any fabrics, so that is 126 different fabrics.I have a few quilts on "The List" to make before I devote all my time to this one, so I have decided to make one block a day until I can.

Oh that is going to be a nice quilt. A bento box charm quilt.
I have the Bento Box pattern and have been contemplating a scrappy lap size version... your posts may just move this project higher on my list! Gotta get the kitty quilt done for my mother in law first...
I always wonder about the expansion of the quilt, as well. There must be some physics to it. On the plus side, the bigger it is, the more annoying it is as a UFO, and thust I am spurred to finish even the non favorites. But then again, a bad day quilting is still better than a good day at work.
