There is a whole host of things to do with Yo-Yo's. They are used in alot of applique quilt designs as well. I believe this months issue of Fons and Porter have a pattern in there for making the Basket block, and then using the yo-yo's as the flowers, very cute. It may be this months issue of Better Homes and Garden. They are great for added embellishments for quilts, especially if you like applique, and/or 3-D type quilts. You can make your own and at various sizes. They are just alot of fun to play with. You can use various embellishments for the center of each flower, from seed beads, to buttons, to novelty buttons. Once you click into your imagination and creativity the ideas are endless. try it. I'm presently working on a country bumpkin type applique angel, and she has a lace apron that is full of flowers that are yo-yo's. She of course is a garden angel.
