Looks like you are off to a great start for 2016. I really like the baby pinwheel quilt and the fabric boxes need to be added to my Roundtoit List. Nice work.

Love your projects. I made one of the boxes a long time ago. Is there any kind of tutorial or chart that lets you know how big of a square or rectangle as well as how much to trim to make different size and depth boxes? I would like to make some for Christmas presents to hold Christmas cards received. Thanks,
