I made them in Christmas colors, strung them together and used as a tree garland. At first I thought they would look frumpy or old, but they didn't at all. I loved it and made it longer last year. Can't show a picture as they are packed away with the ornaments.

I think these would be great, stitched side by side, in a frame. Pick out the best & make several for your family. I bet the fabrics are lovely.

I saw a window treatment with yo-yos that I thought was pretty cool.

My SIL has made several yo-yo quilts. She puts a sashing, binding, and backing on them.

She has also made cushions for a doll rocker and pillows.

She originally hand whip stitched them together, but after a while they start coming apart. She now machine sews them together, just catching about 1/4 inch or so of 2 yo-yo's.

I have the regular yo-yo template and really like it. They sell about 4 - 6 different ones. They were very popular a couple of years ago, but some places are running out of them and not re-ordering them.

Yo-yo's are a great take along project!

One time on a British antique roadshow type program a woman had a yoyo quilt. The appraiser didn't know beans about it and said in America these were made by women from scraps of fabric and valued it very low. That was all she said.
The yoyo quilt was also displayed wrong side up, I felt like jumping into the tv and giving her a piece of my mind. Neither one knew what a tresure they had.
