1 quart = 3.786 / 4 litres = 3786 / 4 cm ³
V = 946.5 cm ³
Let length of side of cube = L
L³ = 946.5
L = 9.82
Length of side = 9.82 cm

1ml = 1ccm
( the volume of 1 mil is equal to the displacement of 1 cubic centimeter)
3.786 l = 3786 ml or 3786 cm^3
the cubed root of (3786) is 15.58567
if each side of your container is 15.58567 cm, then the volume of your container is (15.58567)^3 = 3786 cm^3
