Yo Yo flowers - how to attach by machine
I'm in the home stretch of making TWO Amy Butler bloom quilts for my twin GD. I have arranged and pinned 575 yo yo flowers. Does any one know of a sure fire technique for attaching the yo yos TO THE QUILT by machine. After making almost 600 yo yos the thought of hand sewing them makes me a little woozy. I don't like hand sewing either. I've seen techniques for attaching them to each other by machine, but not TO the quilt after they are made. I welcome ANY suggestions you have. I have a Viking diamond, so lots of stitch options. Thanks in advance. I've learned so much from everyone since I joined.

I've seen all the techniques for bar tacking to each other but this patter has many 6-8 inch yo yos and those would need to be stitched in a circle. That's what I don't want to do by hand. The bar tack will probably be secure enough for the 1.5 - 2 inch. Maybe even the 3 inch. I should have said that. Thanks for your ideas.

If the yo-yo's weren't already made, this would be a great way of attaching them - http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple...-yo-yo-by.html

Great idea! I can use the eyelet buttonhole stitch if I can make it huge. Ill need to sew a 4 inch circle on the 8" yo yos. There must be some way. My machine has everything but an eyebrow plucker!!
