Another Baby Quilt Ball - Easier design

I tried another technique to cut the design. I found this one much easier and had a finished product within a couple of hours. This one will be available on Etsy
 

 
I used a bowl as template for the circle, and cut the circle out.
Fold the circle in half an then in quarters.
Cut on the lines. Place the round edge of one 1/4 on the other facing to the corner to create your oval. Trace & cut the oval.
You have a 1/4 circle & oval template now.
Use this to cut 24 1/4 circles & 12 ovals.
Sew oval to round edge of 1/4 with 1/4" seam allowance. Start 1/4" from edge and end 1/4" from edge.
Sew another 1/4 circle to other side of oval, starting where the previous stitching ended.
Stich the straight sides together leaving a gap to turn inside out & stuff.
Cut the corners and turn over.
Fill with stuffing. ( I used pillow stuffing from a new pillow I bought).
Sew the gaps shut & attach the pieces one by one.
Have fun!!!!
