French seams outside the box.....
 

...this is what I tried with this one and I must say I think it looks quite neat!!! :thumbup: I prefer to make these boxes with french seams and it was just another option. It's to be a little Easter Bunny for my Breast Cancer Care Nurse Nancy :)
Thanks for looking

Sweet! What a great gift idea. Cute fabric, too.

So cute! Love the fabrics

Very cute...love your fabric choice. And i'm with you. I did a few at Christmas time and used the French seam method. It took longer of course, but i did really like the look of the finished product so much better.

Also wishing you GOOD HEALTH in 2015 !!!

nicely done... great idea

very nice gift, well made, love the pretty fabric.

What a nice little gift.

nice idea!!!

What a sweet idea.

Wishing you all the best with your treatment.

That is so pretty, and a very nice gift.

Great idea.....

Beautiful! She's sure to love it.

Well, that's a thought. I think I like that idea.

What a sweet gift you made her. I am sure she will appreciate it especially when you tell her you made the basket.

Gosh dang! I cannot get these boxes to turn out. I've made several attempts. Yours sure is cute! I am so jealous. Can you see how green I am?!

Gee Maryellen, they are soooo easy and quickly made, with all the necessary material cut, takes about an hour to make one!!! :) Have you got the right pattern??? Ohhh I'm sure you're only feeling green because spring is coming over where you live!!! :) :) :)

A very clever gift.

What pattern did you use for the French seams? It's a pretty basket.

It's in a post on QB-Tutorials from Feb.2013 called Fabric Boxes with French Seams Tutorial. Hope you'll find it :) Good luck!!!

Thanks Elfi2

Absolutely adorable, love the basket and the bunny as well. Great gift idea.

Now that is a great idea!

that turned out great -- how thoughtful!

Lovely idea! It is cute and thoughtful.

Love it! What size square did you use?
You are sweet to make this - I am sure she will love it!

Prayers to you for good reports.

I must learn to make those

An adorable gift! Great job on the box.

I like it. I'm sure she will too.

Cute box! Terrific gift idea~

I used 12 1/2" and did the sides 3" although normally I would make the sides only 2 1/2" :)

Great gift...Love it..

French seams make garments and boxes much sturdier - see how well the basket stands up! It's a lovely idea and good luck with the recovery process.

came back to see it again. it inspired me to put my son's (25yo)candy in a box like yours. great idea.
