Things at the Row Robin Swap have been slow. The swap has been really fun to watch, as it develops on flickr, but there have been a few hangups in my group. One person in my group went MIA. A participant sent her row to another participant. And then nothing. I feel very bad for her... No one wants to lose anything she has worked so hard on! With all the commotion, rows have been getting to me late, so I haven't had anything to sew since May. Its okay though. Like I said, I've been busy with life!
Without further ado, here is my row for Natasha. She wanted red and turquoise. I hope she likes it! My inspiration was this bento box from Sister Choice Quilts. However, I did the wrong measurements and didn't have the large inner square like she did! Oh well. I love what I came up with. :)
The row consists of four 12.5 by 12.5 blocks, separated by 3/4" white sashing. I wanted to match the sashing that Natasha used in her row. I love that she added this. It not only breaks up her blocks, but when I added it to my bento box blocks, it made each one stand out!
For the construction, I was able to use a lot of the scraps that had been sent my way. I also bought a considerable amount of fabric, including a fantasic red-orange wave fabric from Joann's. I used it in three of the corners. You will see this fabric in the future soon! I may be incorporating it into my next lap quilt, based on aunt june's Charley's Quilt.

I found a lady on Etsy to do my Rock Star invitations, and a banner, and TY tags! They are so cute! Thanks again for letting me copy you. :)
