I'll print off your picture and show them - then they won't think I'm Crazy!...at least as far as fabric is concerned.
I LOVE the CLOVER plastic yoyo maker - I wouldn't make yo=yos without it! It's definitely worth the $7-$8 for it. The one I use is 45mm and makes yoyos about 1 3/4" wide.
The real fun starts when you start thinking about how you will arrange the yo-yo-yos. Mine look random, but it was sort of planned, so that I didn't end up with, say, lots of reds in one place and green in another.
I haven't tried the Clover yo-yo maker yet. but I might because I want to make a bed skirt with a yo-yo scalloped border.
