Quilt-Top Keepsake Box
Create keepsake boxes with stunning quilt-pattern inlays in walnut, maple, and mahogany. Choose from 3 designs inspired by Early American quilts.
Celebrate the charm of Early American quilts with these heirloom-quality keepsake boxes featuring stunning inlaid lids. Choose from three traditional quilt patterns—tumbling block, star, or pinwheel—each made from contrasting hardwoods like maple, walnut, and mahogany. The small geometric pieces are precisely cut and laid into a recessed lid to mimic the look of hand-pieced quilts with natural wood grain adding depth and texture.
The box itself is easy to build, with a clever construction method that shapes the base and lid as one piece before separating them. While the inlay work takes some patience, the result is a truly eye-catching box that looks far more complex than it is. These boxes are perfect as gifts, decor, or a personal project that connects timeless craftsmanship with nostalgic charm.
