square yoyos
 

I came upon this site, and since I've had an interest in quilting techniques that are 3d, thought someone here might be interested too. I envision using these yoyos on a quilt someday

If you want, explore the whole site, she has a lot of good ideas

If this 'she' is on this board, thank you for sharing your tutes!

(there's a button that can be clicked to get this in English)

Looks really nice and different too.

thanks, she has a lot of great ideas.

Like the looks of the square yoyo. I need to copy/paste her instructions and make a few to fully understand the how-to-do of them but hers look great.

Love the square yoyo's. Thanks

That looks great...Thanks for the link..

The minute I got on that site, I knew it was Finland. Just seeing some familiar words. Many Finish people in the UP of MI and I grew up hearing a lot of that language and had a great best friend in my early marriage years who taught me some words of Finish. Just a moment of nostalgia. I can still count up to 7, and then I am lost.

I think there's a rule that if you make something from a Finish site, you have to be able to count the UFOs in Finish, so you're limited to 7.
Not a bad rule!

Even when I translated to English it was confusing or I missed something in reading it.....like what wire? What/how cardboard? Maybe I need another cuppa.....have too many other projects floating around in my head don't need more. Thanks for the look-see though.

Thanks a bunch!!!

I am getting very, very close, I fear.

Nice projects

I agree, I didn't get much out of the directions, any help out there? I love the square yo yo's.

I couldn't open the translated to English but from the pictures it looks like you make your round one and make a cardboard square which you place the round one on sew behind it to make the round one square. I could be wrong but I will have to go back to the link and see if it will translate to English.

But if that way I thought the pictures mean why could one just glue the back t=of the round yoyo then sew two square yoyo together or even mark the back with a pencil sew lines on the back then sew the two backs (right sides together facing) like doing a cathedral ceiling (mock) type. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gKvdrexKE4

Found a few sites that show how to make Square Yo-Yo
