I think these fabric boxes are adorable. They sure are a hit with everyone. Yours are very nice. If I didn't have so many ufo's going I would just jump in and make some. Hope I don't get weak and break down and put everything else on the back burner and try one of these little boxes. Maybe after the first of the year. I think they would be so cute to do seasonal ones.

Very, very nice. I too like the ones with ears -- it would hold taller items. I made one, but it didn't come out looking as nice as yours. I might make a few more in Christmas fabrics. I started with a 10" square, but think I'm going to use a 12" for future ones.

first of all, Nan...I loved the fabric boxes you made and the colors. Was it difficult. I'd like to make a few to replace the ugly plastic, etc and put different things inside. Would be fun to see all that color as I sew.
secondly, Swede....I agree that would be a two in one gift...not just for dishtowels, but maybe sewing notions also. What a clever thing to think of.
Thanks for posting your fabric boxes Nan
