    It really looks great. I have one that I inherited many years ago and needs one more section to finish. Not familiar with these. Did you quilt a background fabric first and then lay the yoyos on top? I've never seen a pattern for one. The fabrics in mine are really really old prints. Could be over 50 years old. If I knew how to finish I think I would work on it again.

    I'd love to see a picture of your old quilt! The white coverlet under the Yo-Yo's is one I bought, so the Yo-Yo quilt just lays on top.

    I aboslutely LOVE your yo-yo quilt. I have made hundreds of yo-yos, but I don't like sewing them together. They're a great "take-along" project for waiting in doctor's office, kids practices, etc.
