Storage Cube Tutorial with Extra Cuteness

I think I might have mentioned (once or twice – HAHA) that Sue’s niece and her husband are expecting their first baby in September.  Toward that end, I am always looking for things I can make for the baby . . . or its parents.  HAHA  I think I just may NEED to make these storage cubes . . . ASAP!

Storage Cubes

Are these not the cutest little storage cubes you have ever seen?!  The tutorial for making them is found here, by Jorie Jayne.  On one of the cubes she added a little extra trim which just makes it so darn special and extra cute I think.  I hope they might store diapers or other baby items so that they are handy.

I may have to appliqué some elephants on them.  Unless I have luck finding material that has elephants in either gray or white.  Each cube uses five 7″ pieces of material, so that means they should finish at around 6.5″ in all directions – width, depth and height.  What do you think?  Would they be good for storage of baby items??
