Inspiration challenge 2............

........the challenge this month is a bento box quilt (see this link) but not being a quilter I had no idea where to start....... so trying to keep to the "boxy" theme and inspired by the colours of the original inspiration quilt I've done my applique version of a mini quilt in a Janet Bolton style and ended up with this........














.........funky pink and yellow chickens! I used scraps from some of my daughters old baby clothes ....so I really was thriftin and craftin!

I love it, it looks so cute! I like using baby clothes scraps too, it makes me feel nostalgic when I see them in something and reminds me how tiny they were such a short time ago!

Hi Kerry-

That is PRECIOUS! This is exactly what I had hoped for. That the inspiration pieces would inspire each of us to do something we had never even thought of. I love the colors, the fact that you recycled the fabric from something special, and the shabbiness of this. I love the border pieces and the way they are random, and not perfectly sized like a regular quilt piece. Love the random look of scrappy quilts. This is so awesome. I'm so glad you joined us again. If you make more pieces, be sure to link to my blog in the Mr. Linky box so we can see them too!
