One un-bento-box-related question though: I'm making flea market fancy quilt based on your measurements, and am currently lacking ideas for quilting it. I'm very novice on stippling, so that is out of the question. What kind of quilting would make the squares pop out nicely, and would be relatively easy? Any help or ideas are very appreciated, thanks! -Sanna, FinlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-5846609389336531292009-03-28T07:06:00.000-05:002009-03-28T07:06:00.000-05:00This turned out so nice.
