A friend of mine has yo-yo quilt identical to that one only yellow and blue. She asked me to repair it for her. She didn't care for it and didn't know who made it so I took a chance and after repairing the yo-yos, I washed it in my machine in warm water, regular laundry soap and the slowest agitation cycle possible. Then I put it in the dryer on gentle heat. When it came out I repaired some more that had come apart, turned it over and sort of ironed the back of the yo-yos and it is gorgeous! I know I did everything wrong but it turned out so pretty. I wouldn't reccommend this but she didn't care about it so I felt I could experiment. Can't wait to give it to her.
