here is my little box & I did mine 12x12 too I did a box stitch all 1 inch apart around the square. These are so much fun & quick & easy to make. You can make them bigger or smaller whatever size works for you. Hubby suggested a mail box for inside so he will find his mail in one spot. So I guess I must make another. A very versatile box! This one is for candy LOL

I just thought of this idea too if you make it in to a rectangle it could be a bread basket too! so many possibilities so little time LOL

Starting with a rectangle would not give you a rectangular basket, but a diamond. And the triangles would not be isisceles, but scalene, which could give a nice effect.
I am just visualising it and like to try it out once I am up and about.

Looks marvelous!! Great idea to make it a rectangle. That would also be good for your hubby's mailbox. Soooo many uses for this cute little box/basket.

Starting with a rectangle you can not place the darts in the middle of the long sides or you would get a diamond shaped basket. So you would have to move them. The distance from the corner would be the same as half the length of the short side. That would

Give you a nice rectangular basket, but it would have too large triangles .
You can reshape those. But that would mean you can't start with a rectangle but with some odd shaped piece.

I'll try it out and show you later.

Another licorice lover! Have you tried the Licorice Spice tea bags by Stash? Don't know if you get them there, but after my telling our oldest son I couldn't find them in the stores, he ordered me some for my birthday last June....100 bags!! I did share with my daughter that is also a licorice lover!
