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.

I feel like such a slacker - haven't made any!! But they are on my to-do list!

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

How neat! I love that you really went for it with so many.

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

yes, this is a great idea. but i would make that one shorter by using a shorter triangle for the corners.... maybe 1.5 or 1.25"

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.
