I am trying to decided if I like these or not. I made 16 bento box blocks using my leftover Christmas fabrics. I have arranged them 4 x 4 because they are 12" blocks, and using them this way would be the perfect size for a Gizzy Quilt variation (the quilts I make for cats are called "Gizzy Quits".)

4.
I think they are fine for cats, but I might try rearranging them into a simply geometric pattern, breaking up the bento design.
Actually, I was trying to avoid using a lot of the same very light fabric, I didn't want it repeated to often. But I think I should have. Because some of the "lights" I used don't "read" as lights have a very strong light-dark contrast. Also the fabrics with large patterns in both light and dark blocks don't work very well either, regardless of their contrast.
Hmm... I am getting some ideas...

Of the four, I like No. 4 the best...
They are beautiful!
I can't pick a fav! I love Bento box quilts - just never have tried them myself!
Can't wait to see your finished results! Good luck!

I also like #4 the best but may a make a suggestions. How about cutting the blocks apart into half or quarter square triangles and resew. Would add a new dimension.
