Display or Give These Handy Fabric Boxes
A Great Use of Leftover Skinny Strips!
Dig into your stash and pull out pretty combinations of scraps for these fabric boxes. Make one or more, in either size, for yourself and for giving. They make wonderful gift bags filled with goodies for just about any occasion.
Sort your scraps into color themes or seasonal combinations. You may be surprised how many of these easy boxes you can make with what you have on hand.
The pattern specifies 1 1/4″ strips for the pieced bodies, but that can be varied. String piecing makes the boxes a breeze to stitch together.
Instructions are provided for boxes in two sizes:
- 4″ x 4″ x 12″
- 4″ x 4″ x 6″
You can easily adapt the pattern to other sizes by varying the dimensions of the starting rectangle.
The pattern for “Lotza Boxes” is included in the Autumn 2016 issue of Quilter’s World.
