It did.

Here are a couple of pics. The first one shows them nested inside each other, and the second one shows all three boxes separately.

Thanks again to frenchfryqueen for posting the link to the pattern! Here's the link, if anyone else might be interested. http://seaside-stitches.blogspot.com...-tutorial.html

Love the fabric and boxes. I've made a couple using 10 & 12" squares, but love the tall one. How big is the square and what measurement for the corners? Thanks.

I used the following measurements:

10" = 2" corners
12" = 2-1/2" corners
14" = 3" corners

Those came out really cute! I've been enjoying the ones I made to hold Halloween candy, but the candy keeps disappearing (kids!). I used batting along with some fusible interfacing to make them stiffer, but I might try your felt trick. I just came across some white felt gifted to me by my MIL and I had no idea what to use it for, especially since I'm done making soccer banners (yay!).
