    My girlfriends was red, white and black but the picture is in my phone and I don't know how to get it on here!!!
    But it was Beautiful!!!
    I hope you enjoy it!

            Fabulous!! My sister has made a couple of those. A shop near my house offers the class and last time I was in they had some done up w/custom rod iron legs that made it look pretty cool. I like the wooden legs too.

              They are called BUNN feet! They come in many shapes and colors. I got walnut but others were black and mahogany and one was raw wood for painting. Many choices
              To Vonnie: Was it difficult?
              Not really. It is made up of eight panels sewn to a foundation panel just like quilt as you go. There is a special ruler for this class that us use. To draw the 8 foundation pieces made of muslin. We sewed the first panel in class #1 and then went home to sew the other seven. We joined all 8 panels and came to class with it all assembled!
              We then put the plywood base and the upholstery foam and batting together and then put the top over and went to work using a power nail gun!! That was the best! I happen to love power tools! LOL!! ( I have my own drill,saw and sander in my personal tool kit!!)
              I don't know how soon I would do this again but I certainly will someday!
              Thanks to all for your comments. I couldn't wait to share it!!!

                        Excellent work! Your explanation made it sound very doable. I think it looks elegant.

                          Aw, I want a tuffet! But I think if I'm gonna sit on it I need two tuffets. Your fabrics are beautiful!

                            From the pictures, I cannot tell the size, especially the height of a tuffet. What are the measurements of your finished tuffet?

                              The tuffet is 17 inches across and 11 inches tall including the feet. It really isn't tall enough to be a ottoman but it is the cutest thing to have in my living room!!
