What's more appealing to play with than a brightly colored soft fabric soccer ball if you're a small little man? I can't think of a single thing, truthfully.
This For Kicks Patchwork Ball from Anna Maria Horner's Seams to Me looked a little intimidating or at least annoying to make at first, but once I started it was quick work. It was a fun way to use some of my scraps, and really the most annoying part was just cutting out all the shapes (as is the case with any quilt project). And my little guy loves it. He's just at that stage where balls of any shape or size really rock his world.
It makes a great chair, as the girl figured out...
This is so inspiring as I have that book, love the ball but have been too afraid/annoyed (like you said) to make it. Will be adding to the to-do list soon
I want one of these...and all the felt food. I can't believe how fun your blog is. You're amazing.
