Nothing!!! I had made way over 100 yo yo's because I wanted to make a quilt like one I had seen..so got on the band wagon and made all these yo yo's. Ended up tossing them out because I realized I was going to have to make thousands of them and I wasn't going to do that many!!!
I do have a pattern for a vest made from the yoyo's and if your interested in it, you may have it just pm me. :)

i'm appliqueing mine to fabric strips- in different (layouts) the (plan) is to then cut the strips up, frame them with black- stitch together into a quilt---so far i am loving it! and the stitching them down part? when i mentioned to hubby my intent-he said what you said- would probably take forever-it's not so bad- they actually go together quite quickly (i'm stitching around each one with an invisible stitch.
i've seen them attached with just a button in the middle too-
and the little dolls/animals/clowns made out of them are very very cute.

While in Lancaster, PA last year we visit a small amish shop. The elderly lady had displayed a yo-yo quilt for a queen size bed. They are diligent workers and she said it took her 6 months to make the top. As we talked she was hand sewing another top(not YO-YO) Those ladies are amazing.
I however don't do yo-yo's unless it calls for one or two.
