Pop's Texas A&M Bento Box Quilt - Make It Monday by A Panama Mama
Pop, as my kids call my dad, loves Texas A&M, so one year, I decided to make him a Texas A&M quilt for Christmas. He was very happy to receive this quilt and still uses it on his recliner at their house. I believe I found the tutorial for the pattern online and it was not too difficult to follow. It had a lot of Texas A&M fabric in it.
He told me after receiving this that he had been eating Bento boxes at work for lunch!
The back of it is a (crooked) Texas A&M with AGGIES appliqued on it. It is really hard to get the front straight with the back when the back is taped right side down to the floor with batting in between when making the quilt sandwich. Not fun.
I quilted it together by doing all over loops. I thought this would be easier than stippling, but it was actually kind of difficult.
Do you like the bento box pattern?

My lord, you are an Aggie too? Please tell me your not. I do everything I can to avoid Aggies, I drive to Waco, via Austin, to avoid going through College Station and those Aggies.
I do like the pattern though, nice workmanship.
Nope, I'm not an Aggie, but there are 3 of them in my family - two brothers and my dad. I went to Hardin-Simmons in Abilene for college. I was seriously considering going to A&M until I visited it and saw how massive it was! :)
Okay, that could have been a deal breaker, glad we have that behind us.
;) Lol. Did you go to UT or something? ;) Your kids aren't allowed to go to A&M? My husband went to Texas Tech in Lubbock, so we probably won't have any Aggies either. ;)
No, I didn't go to UT. It has to do with some shady business dealings that A&M pulled a few years back on me.
Ah, makes sense. Not cool.

Wow, another really nice quilt. Indeed, craft on! @ironshield
Thanks so much! :)
@apanamamama always got us covered
Ha ha! Yes! ;)
Very nice! I love the colors on this one too! I love the pattern designs on your quilts!
Thanks so much! I tend to stick with what I know, so trying something different like on this pattern is always a challenge. ;)
You’re welcome! I’m the same way. I tend to stick to what I know but I love a challenge here and there.
I have all these links for quilt ideas that I'd like to try "someday." :)
I bet you do ;)
Nice Quilt. Gig Em! @rebele93
TX A&M Class of 93' - Whoop!
Nice! I am not an Aggie, but three of the members of my family are. My dad graduated in 70something and my two brothers were in the 2000s. :)
My mother is an avid quilter and made me a TX A&M quilt for my bed when I was in the Corps. It's one of my most valued possessions. I'll try to post a picture soon.
That's awesome. Would love to see a pic! You are a hardcore Aggie then for sure! :)
Yes...I do like the bento box pattern! Your quilts are so amazing...it's like sewing a huge jigsaw puzzle together! I don't know how you do it 😀
Lol! Yeah sometimes it does feel like a jigsaw puzzle! I usually lay it all out on the floor and make sure I like the end product before I sew it all together. ;) Thanks for stopping by! :)
Wow your post is awesome!
Thanks!
