This is a Christmas Ornament I made last year. I have made about 50 of them because so many people wanted them. Each one has 50 squares of fabric and about 200 straight pins in it. We loved doing them, but they take a long time so my hands won't let me make them anymore. The one I am showing was a "Memory" ornament done in University of Alabama Fabric. It had the Alabama "A" emblem on the back side. Just wanted to share with all of you.

You wouldn't happen to have a pattern laying around, would you? That is AWESOME!

i love it, made a few as gifts inthe past. the ones i ake with beads take hours, i can't see all that well but they come out beautiful. Maybe, we'll be swap pals.

I did those many years ago only mine was cross stitched in the center. I made them until I thought my fingers would fall off! They're not difficult, just tedious. I couldn't even look at Christmas fabric with small print for years! Yours is really cute!

It is beautiful! I'd love a tute on how to make them. I'm always looking for something new to do with the kids. We make ornaments for everyone each year.

Here's a link to instructions for making these: http://www.make-stuff.com/projects/quiltball.html

I've got one almost done; just need to find the right trim to finish it.

I have just two things to say....that is an AWESOME ornament! Wow! The other thing is...War Eagle! heh heh!

Love the Bear Bryant houndstooth hat print. He was a great coach even if I am not a Bama fan.

You got to give Bama credit, they were National Champions. HeHe

Very nice!

great gift idea!

are you joining our Christmas ornament swap here on the board?

Would love to but don't know how to join LOL

I've made many of these ornaments. I like how every one is different and they make very nice gifts.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH for putting this instructional link on here, I've wanted to know how to make these for forever!! One question though: The one that twinkie made with the handsome fella in the center of the ball........the instructions show points of folded fabric - would the center for this be just a flat photo pressed onto the ball and then the folded fabric pieces placed around it? Sure appreciate your help and hope you have a blessed holiday weekend. Take care, Nancy

That is absolutely awesome!
