I cannot tell you how happy I am with how this quilt has turned out and it was very much a group effort.
Fabrics picked by me and sent to the quilters in this group. They were sent back, I chopped them up (inspired by these) and added the white squares.
The quilt has been quilted by Karen and as per usual, she had done a lovely job. I asked her to do free-form lines which she has never done before and I am really grateful that she stepped out of her comfort zone and tried something new – the result is fabulous.
Fast Facts:
- The quilt measures a generous 57″ x 71″
- Backed in Anna Maria Horner flannel
- Bound in Liberty
A big thank you to everyone who contributed x

Hi Kate,

It’s Drop Dead Gorgeous. And the quilting just freeform perfect. And I think after the last few weeks, you have injected a bit of quilty inspiration back into these veins.
It is a beautiful quilt Kate, Karen’s quilting lines really finishes it off perfectly, love the blues too. xo
Wow! So very impressive! The quilting is the perfect finishing touch. :)
Lovely quilt. I’ve always loved the ones with white in them, and this is a particularly gorgeous one!
Its gorgeous Kate!
Love it! The tonal blues are amazing and contrast well with the white. I might just have to try one of these out, soon!
Oh, so beautiful & fresh!
Did you quilt this one yourself?
Wow, what gorgeous work! Love the blue-white combo…
Really beautiful Kate!!
Stunning Kate. I love the binding especially! Oh and the gorgeous little blonde head snuggly beneath it ;)
Lovely cool quilt, reminds me of the ocean.
I love the blue and the bento box pattern. I need to make an auction quilt maybe this would be good.
Oh that quilt is so dreamy, I must remember to try do something like this. I absolutely love it.
Wow, it’s beautiful! I’ve never been a fan of bento box quilts before, but that colour scheme and your decision to chop up and alternate the blocks with plain squares has totally changed the pattern, and now I want to make one soooooo badly….
Gorgeous Kate! I really love the binding. x
Gorgeous! I really like the white squares – they make the blue squares really pop.
Great quilt Kate! So crisp and fresh and modern..and perfectly finished with Karen’s quilting! Stunning!
I just asked my long armer to do free form lines too – now i really really can’t wait to see how my quilt turned out!
wow kate! it’s absolutely beautiful! I love that you added in so much white – just perfect!
Absolutely stunning!!!
It is such a pretty peaceful quilt likely owing to the fact that you used a monochromatic color scheme and put in every other block plain. It’s lovely!
It’s gorgeous! And the quilting looks fantastic too.
