Those are so nice. I made one for my mother and she loved it. She really loved to fold things so I also made her some napkins. She worked on those for hours on end. I took her every quilt I made and she thought she made them. I miss her!

What a great idea of attaching them to a pillow board like that. Thank you for showing all your details, it is very inspiring. The ones I made a few years ago were like a little quilt but had elastic on the backs so the home could put them over the end of the table to hold them in place. Your work is so precise and appealing in colour choices as well.

You have included enough photos and information to allow any of us to try this == THANK YOU!
I have made touch balls for blind children with different textured fabrics on each side of the dodecahedron. You could add corduroy and upholstery scraps, or maybe something from the hardware store, for additional touch stimuli.
