Just finished another set of nesting fabric boxes! I chose some pretty gold-accented autumn fabric for the outside, and Fairy Frost fabric with gold glitter for the inside. I FMQ'ed them in a meandering pattern this time, rather than concentric squares like before. As an experiment, I used felt inside instead of batting to see if it would make them a bit stiffer. 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.

I also made some out of Snoopy Halloween fabric with orange inside. I used Deco Bond on the outside fabric. Really makes them stand up "tall".... Will be making some for Christmas craft show

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I'm currently working on one made with a vintage (repro) hankie as the interior, and the scalloped edges of the hankie form the triangles that fold over. So far it's turning out really pretty! I'll try to finish it this evening when I get up (I sleep days). 'Night, all!
