went on a shop hop this past weekend and saw an ornament made out of the really small yo yo's with decorative pin in the center to attach them to Styrofoam ball. Also I have added them to 10 minute table runners and pocketbooks

Marcia Layton has some wonderful patterns using yoyos. http://www.heritagequiltshop.com/sho...on-Designs.htm I've made Harvest Road and plan to make a spring version. Sorry about your mom, we are quickly coming to the same time with my mom. Thoughts and prayers your way.

I have the round ones & heart shaped ones by Clover, bought for a retreat project a few years back. The instructor gave us the basic design but never did give us the completed pattern, so after a few months I just "winged it" to have it completed. I'll post a picture to give you an idea of how to use them for flowers.[ATTACH=CONFIG]409647[/ATTACH]

Thimblebug, I love your quilt! I'm doing a series of spring-themed wallhangings right now. Do you mind if I borrow your pattern? The Bleeding Heart will be great and the Cherry Blossom looks like our Dogwood trees. Thanks for posting this!

Thank you everyone for your replies.
So far I have made about 70 yo-yos in 2 sizes, it also depends
on if I am at home or not as to which size I am making.
I have TONS of 5-1/2" squares that I have been cutting as I was
working on sorting, ironing, and folding my fabric. Wasn't sure what
I wanted to do with the squares, so now I am using them to make
the yo-yos.
Thimblebug that is a fantastic quilt you made. Thanks for sharing it.

That pic of yoyo quilt is my personal challenge....I have the clover yoyo makers(all sizes) and really like using them. Makes all the stitches equal and therefore all yoyo s look the same. First I cut the squares with my GO, then away I go....may finish this in several years! BTW, I too use hand quilting thread, single, to do, I don't knot at beginning, but at end of circle, I take both ends, after gathering, and tie into a surgeon's knot.....a square knot with an extra turn in on last knot.
