    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.

    So nice. The last picture reminds me of crocus flowers.

    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

    So I tried a breadbasket. I started with 12.5" squares and used a 1.75" corner triangle. I used a very stiff batting, almost too difficult to birth it. I think this is a good size for a breadbasket.
