There were lots of cute fabrics at JoAnn's. I had a very hard time deciding which to use. I'm crushing on red, blue, white, and green together these days so this one just jumped out at me...
With the sack sitting there on the floor, calling my name, I just had to dive right in; and the project really only took a couple of hours. (I used a piece of tissue paper for my circle pattern and it was the perfect size.) I had to hold off on finishing it up because the bag of filler I bought was too small.
But, after adding more filler it was perfect. As you can see, Mason is content. Now, I want to make more!!
All in all, I spent less than (or right around) $20. But, now I know to buy the bigger bag (which probably would've been cheaper to do at the beginning) and I don't have to buy another spool of thread if I buy similar fabric. So, with the home fabrics on sale and coupons for the filler, I think I can make more for around $15 a piece; which isn't really that bad.
I'm dying to make 2 more!! But, here's my debate (as seen on my facebook....) Should I make the other two:
a. with the same fabric but maybe different colors of piping;
b. with coordinating fabric but a different pattern; or
c. with completely different fabric to make them all different?
I'm sort of leaning away from C because my kids are notorious for arguing about which on is "who's" and "this is mine" and so on and so forth. If they're all pretty much the same, I'm hoping to cut down on the arguing. So, what do you think? I love to hear any suggestions! :).

Different colors! Option C. For sure.
It's sooo cute!!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you should sell the stuff you make! I would buy it! That looks awesome.
I can see your dilemma, since my kids would act the same way. I'd be tempted to do them all the same to cut down on arguing....but different colors would be cute.
