Quilt Squares Box

I made this box for my wife's quilting squares of various sizes. She was concerned she might misplace the smallest ones and wanted them all together. So, I took some measurements and modeled this box to hold them. To save on filament, the box was made as open as possible and in several pieces to minimize supports needed. Feel free to modify the model using TinkerCAD to fit your own quilting squares.

The squares fit close together to save on filament and space and may be too tight for fingers to grab the squares. So, the tab was made to hook the holes in the squares to make it easier to lift square and grab it. The tab is stored by sliding it between two squares. The top of the tab keeps it from sliding all the way down between the squares.
