I do allot of applique and I use them as flowers when I do a flower pot theme...I also use them as centers for my Dresden Plates...I'd also love to do a quilt but....will never make that many in my lifetime

I love the idea of centers for dresdens!! So many good ideas, thanks for bringing up the topic, Carrieanne!

Such awesome ideas!

I have made a pillow, bed runner and working on a lap quilt with yo-yos sewn on strips of alternating fabrics.

lovely...and allot of work and patience. Did you machine sew or hand sew each on there?

I made some with a class full of boys - we discussed how to incorporate them into a quilt and they each made a block with their yoyos used to denote the back of a turtle.Another group made a stuffed sculpture/toy of a tortoise and used the yoyos again for the back.

Gorgeous!

I love yo-yo's!! I can think of all sorts of uses, so don't throw them away peeps! Send them to me! lol

I flew down to Florida,a flight attendant made one took her 3 years she said.Connie in CO

I have a plan to make one someday, also.
Here is an interesting pattern for yo-yo's:

I also remember seeing one where it seemed as though no two yo-yo's were the same size, and it was breathtaking!
