my yo-yos came with instruction sheets in each packet. i can get lots of yos out of a fq. i did make smaller yos to use for leaves but because i kept asking my dtr about my arrangements and changing them a kazilliion times - i just left them off. i did all the feather stitching with 6 strands of embroidery thread b4 i even made the yo-yos. i know 4 sure that the next quilt will NOT have as many yo-yos as the first. besides the next one is for a boy. it's gonna be yo-yo animals.
i'm with you susan, the flowers & hearts are a pain.
