EPP Patchwork Puzzle Ball

Not too far along yet, but here is my most recent start!

I have been using this cute wooden box my sister gifted me to haul the project around.

It has a slide top that serves well when I need a firm surface.
I had several various appointments this week, but I never sat to wait more than a few minutes.
Darn, right?

The impulse to begin a new project was triggered recently by the Let's Book It Linkup held by Vrooman's Quilts. I thought her link up is such a great idea, and I pulled a book I have by Jinny Beyer, Patchwork Puzzle Balls.

Jinny provides instruction to piece her puzzle balls by hand,

but they are small pieces so I decided to paper piece mine.

Here is the ball I selected from her book:

 

And here is the layout I am working to complete:

 

 I have a good start on the puzzle ball, perfect timing for Hydee's In Hand EPP Linkup, however I dropped the ball on the Let's Book It linkup:-) Oh well, thought I would mention it anyway!

Linking up today as well with Kelly, and all the cool folks partyin' at Needle and Thread Thursday!
