I love seeing the different fabrics students use in their tuffets. This time we had a group at Quintessential Quilts in Madison. What a fun group of ladies! I love the camaraderie that develops in tuffet classes. People work together and give opinions and share in their wonderful creations.

Striped tops were not a requirement for class.

Linda is checking to see if her top is centered.

Getting that top on can be a tight fit!

It's important to get the top on snugly. It really makes a difference in the finished tuffet.

Linda's wool tuffet is from old plaid skirts! I love it!

Adorable! And so is her tuffet!

I am considering making a tuffet and am wondering if you did anything different when making the wool one. I am concerned about the thickness of the wool when all the pieces meet in the center.

Thank you in advance.

Nothing unusual for this one as her strips were super wide. Check out the post from 4/7/16 -- a student made a 64 strip wool tuffet! In that case, she arrived with them already cut. If she had not already had them cut I would have suggested she do "double wide" strips. But it worked even with 64. I suggested she hand sew the very top part of the panels together.
