Happy Stacker

I was sewing this colorful stacker before the baby was born and finished just before Christmas. She was about 5-6 months old before the toy interested her, but now she loves to take all the pieces apart and especially play with the stick piece.
Pattern is Heather Bailey's Happy Stacker, but I don't recommend it for novices. It took more time than I had imagined (almost as long as a quilt), and the construction is a bit mind-bending. Mine came out somewhat lop-sided and lumpy, although baby doesn't seem to mind at all. If you are up for a challenge, by all means, go for it! The finished result is a lot of fun.

I've made this stacker as well and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that took ages and ended up with less than perfect rings!

Mine is for a gift... hope they like it as much as your little girl likes yours!
