I love making yo-yos, too. Very easy with the new yo-yo makers, you're right!

I've done some small yoyo's by hand to use as flower embellishments. It will take longer to make a quilt, but it will look great when finished. I've seen a pic somewhere of a purse made with yoyo's. Don't know how large they were. There are other ideas if you Goggle them, as well as Search on the Board. Thanks for showing us.
