UPDATE****

I found the book I got the originial pattern out of ... ( of course after 3 + yrs... I couldn't remember which of my blocks were dark and which was light... so I just did hodgepodge mix- instead of the dark row/light row.
This is called a McAllister McPuff. I have taken some pic, sorry they are blurred.... these small digitals cameras dont take close ups well.

I'm up to row 5 of zigzaging it together....

book was published in 1995

what it was supposed to look like according to the book
[ATTACH=CONFIG]120171[/ATTACH]

block cut out pattern... sew up the corners, turn right sides out, stuff with a sqaure of batting, then drawstring up like a regular yoyo.... then zigzag together!

How about a pic of just a block to partially satisfy our need to see.

Okay, I am officially brain dead. I checked this book out of the library a couple months ago and even copied the pattern! Duh

I like the tut you found.......... better. It's a tad more work cutting the things out but the appear to be more SQUARE... :)

Thanks for sharing it.

I have seen several out there that just work with a sq piece of fabric.... but with this pattern they seem to come out with a more flat square bottom , thus making it easier to sew together.

I like the tutorial you found, but I'm self-taught lazy. I hate cutting with scissors since the rotary cutter was born. ***sigh*** Guess it all depends on how much I want it. :-D :-D
