There was a quilt at a local fabric shop that used yo-yo to make poodles on the quilt. I will ask them if I can post the pictre when I find it!

Use different sizes and stack them for Christmas trees. Use them for embellishing on kid quilts. Think about all the places you could use them to hide points not matching! :?

Heck, if I'm gonna put them on places to hide the unmatching points, I might as well make a yo-yo quilt!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have the queen size top that my MIL made from yo-yos, and it is beautiful.
Let me know if you want to see a picture of it.

Well, of course, I want to see a picture!!!! :D :D :D

I've seen quilts where the yo-yos were attached to a piece of muslin and then pictures of other quilts where they were just sewn together. Wonder which way would be easiest???

this one was attached to white cotton, not the best jpicture though. We placed it in my floor frame, and then all her friends came and helped her sew them on.

I sewed a 6" row of eyelet material around the edge. that is a king size bed that it is on, so that tells you how big it is. she would sit at night and make o-yos, the old fashioned way, cutting each one out by hand and sewing them. she has since passed away.

I've never tried this, but l have heard about it and seen it on television.
Is it hard to learn to use?
When I quilt a lot, I get callouses on 2 fingers on my left hand, always punching them
I have tried other things, but just seem to have to feel the needle. I cant control the stitches.

you have to practice with it i did i sat for hours till i got the hand on it go to you tube they have her on there and also if you qnn go to shar jorgensen she on there twice showing how she does it aunt becky is only 4.00 dollars and you have to pay shipping and handing you can go under connetting threads under thimble
