It seems like a lot of people are in love with the beautiful puzzle balls shown in this thread:
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=116525.0
and this one:
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=97455.msg947142#msg947142
and so, since A Patchwork Orange has been kind enough to create a tutorial,
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=102581.0
I thought, what better than to start a craftalong, so we can share tips and frustrations, and, best of all, show pictures of our finished creations!
i just started mine, and since truthfully I don't exactly get it, I'm not using the most beautiful fabric in the world in case I screw it up completely.   Undecided

Sorry I've been gone so long. Am trying to get back on the boards. Body's thrown me for a few loops these past months and am still learning to adjust. Thanks for your patience.

I am so glad someone finally decided to start the craftalong.  Thank you! 
Here is a pic of another of my puzzleballs....this one was given away as a prize on my website.

probably as small as you can stand to sew it together lol. I'm having enough trouble with the size recommended, it's so small for me

Wow, you're faster then I am lol. I've cut out all my pieces, and sewn...two bits together. And left it there. I got so many things I have to get finished by the end of this week, I don't have time for it right now lol. But I do want to finish it soon, because I want to make another one as a gift for someone
