Aurora, I made 3" deep corners which is why my box turned out taller. Since I am not looking to place wine bottles in there, I wouldn't make it that tall. Right now I am working on boxes made from 10" squares and only making a 1.5" corner which keeps my box stubbier. I have been contemplating making one with a 12 or 14" square and the smaller corners so I can place a mug inside filled with candy or nuts for a gift. And, I also want to play with a tiny box to see if it is more difficult. Anyway, Thank you everyone for your kind words on the French seams. I love removing the bulk from the inside of the fabric box.
