Yo-yo attachment: Machine sew or hand sew?
Hello everyone,
I'm working on my first yo-yo quilt project and I am finally within 8 yo-yos of completing the task of making the yo-yos. I am planning on using Kona white 5" blocks for the setting of each yo-yo. I have a couple questions for your experienced minds. 1. Would you machine sew or hand sew the yo-yos down? 2. Do you have any tips for quilting yo-yo quilts?
Thank you for your thoughts,
Anna

Thank you all for your replies. I think I will follow your suggestions and mark the center of each white block then build the quilt and attach the yo-yos last. Sitting here looking at the picture I think it would be pretty to use a few different white on white patterns for the blocks for the top. Hmmmm so many decisions. Thank you all again! (This was my first post. How fun!

Yes, Clover has those templates...come in several sizes...the easiest way to make yoyo's. I know, am making them now.
Did you try, as an experiment, to zigzag around the edges with invisible thread...tiny zig, long stitch? I have a pattern from an older mag that has theses sewn onto strips of fabric rather than squares and you show...that is my goal----someday----- now just have a growing box of yoyos......
