Traditionally yo-yo quilts weren't quilted. They were used over different colour sheets or bedspreads to change the look and 'fancy things up'. I've seen only one quilted yo-yo quilt. The entire yo-yo top was stitched down onto a plain fabric quilt (like a wholecloth, but with very simple stitching). It was gorgeous but a heck of a lot of hand work.
I've been making yo-yo's for ages and they are a pain to stitch together IMHO. I plan on trying to use my machine which has a backtack function, then just drag the thread to the next yo-yo.
Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. I love making the darned things!
