Quilt Tips: Bento Box Quilt Block

This is a traditional block that is easy and beginner friendly, but also has many variations that make it fun for advanced quilters too.  Usually this is a 2 color quilt, but you can have fun by using a different 2 fabrics in each block you make.  That makes it scrap friendly and Jelly Roll friendly.  If you would like layout ideas, it is always useful to Google Bento Box Quilt, or search on Pinterest.

You will need two different fabrics for this block. Look for a good light/dark contrast.
From both fabrics, you will need:

• four 2-1/2″ squares
• four 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ rectangles
• two 2-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ rectangles

(Each fabric will use one WOF 2-1/2″ strip, so this is a good block for jelly rolls)
