The pattern is from another QB member, Frenchfryqueen: Fabric Box Tutorial and My Results.

i bought a precut layer cake so my gift boxes will be made using a 10x10 square. The orange one is made with 14x14 squares and is bigger but more time to invest when I need to make 20 so decided on the smaller size.
They are fun to make - the most time consuming task is the quilting. I have a table runner that I want to quilt so testing out different stitch patterns as well as getting more comfortable with the process.
Thankyou again for your comments, encouragements, and helpful suggestions. They help lift my spirits as it's been 3 years today that my mum passed away and I miss her very much.
