Cictorian Box; crazy quilt
#1
My mom has "requested" a victorian box made from my dad's old ties. She found a pattern of sorts:

but it seems too flimsy (cereal box sides and maybe they won't squash the same way). Does anybody know of a similar pattern? I would I appreciate your guidance.

A friend of my mom made just the bottom half like these using a double layer facing inside and out of Christmas cards held together with red or green crochet cotton.
I've also seen them done with yarn on plastic canvas.

Oh WOW, I had been given one of these, it was open at the top, it was made with old Christmas cards, they must have used 2 or more, cuz it was not 'flimsy', and you can always have 'sturdier' cardboard cut just 1/2 inch or so smaller on the inside, how are you going to 'sew' it together?

Have made something similar and cereal boxes work fine. Stiffer card and you won't get the curve.The final whip stitch is easier if you used a curved upholstry needle.
Love to see a photo when you have finished.
