I made this ball with 12 stuffed pieces. It is called something like "spinning top" in Japanese.
I heard this is not very new to you in USA, and want to know the name of it there.

Great job. I always wanted to try to make that but it looks really complicated.

That is so neat youme! I've seen similar "grab balls" for babies: http://sewing.about.com/od/babyshowe...s/babyball.htm
