Eleanor Burns Tossed Nine Patch. It is easy.

I am currently working on a YoYoville Quilt designed by Anne Sutton that takes 197 yoyos from 5" squares. I make yoyos while waiting at traffic lights, doctor visits, before church, during commercials, football practice, you get my drift? I think I am even making yoyos in my sleep sometimes. I currently have 142 and counting. Keep telling myself, almost done.... Then the construction of the quilt will begin. Love the quilt, hope I can get it completed. Important thing is to have fun with your 5" squares, I know I am!

I use a lot of 5 inch squares. Our guild had Pat Speth come and did classes with her. she has 3 books on using 5 inch aquares. She calls them nickel quilts. just google her and find her books many of the patterns use just one square and some need pairs. they are great fun.

Thanks to all of you who have posted links on this board. They have helped me so much.

or if the pack doesn't have that many of any one 5" square; do a 9-patch or 4-patch using darks and lights

There is a book Nickel Quilts that is devoted to using 5" squares.
There's a Vol 2 also, not as good.
You can probably get it used thru Amazon

My sister-in-law just did her first quilt with 5" squares for her handicapped daughter....This was fun and easy for her. She just sewed the squares together and quilted "stitch in the ditch" and it turned out really cute. Now I want her to do a little more. Just don't rush it, if you start out to complicated you won't want to quilt.
