Took me three times to get the size covering right and just used all my scraps from projects and the scrap bags from Buggy Barn they offer once a month for $5. Good deal if ya can pick one up. This is what I came up with. No pattern yet, but if it does well in show, will make for craft show and gifts for my quilt friends.

That is an idea, I just may throw one into the field looking like him. Maybe then they would quit hitting them into our yard. They hit one of our company trucks and broke out the windshield. Yes, the evidence was sitting in the seat saying ha ha ha ha ha I made it.

I question too, why not give the balls back? If the baseball field was there before your company, your company accepted that risk when you moved in. I would try to work with them to solve the problem. "Just trying to see both sides" I love your little man also, but would rather see the baseballs used for what they were made for.
