I have seen them used to make Christmas ornaments--stacked, thread running though them with enough to make hanging cord---other decorations can be added at the top. On my to-do list !

One of the most incredible coverlets I have ever seen was made using yoyos and sewing them together on the four compass points. It was done with random colors and had a solid color (deep green) that was tied to the backing creating a little fuzzy center to each yoyo in yellow wool yarn. The background showed in the little openings between the yoyos. The whole effect was a flower garden. It was made by a man for his wife. Beautiful , and a thoughtful gift.

NZQuilter, that looks like the quilter used a cross-stitch pattern, and instead of X's on fabric, she connected yo-yo's!! Wow, thanks for posting that!!

Sadly, now I want to dig out my old cross-stitch patterns and do them in yo-yo's.

If our longevity is determined by all the things we want to do, then I will never die. :)

Another idea...use them around your binding for an extra "wow" on a quilt. (Think of "round" Prairie Points"). Hope this is clear.

Someone on the QB recently posted a Christmas Tree wallhanging that was made with yo-yos, it was adorable.

I like to use them for embellishment. I have also stacked them to make toys (dolls/clowns with children's socks for the head and stacked yoyos for the body parts). My favorite items have been table toppers and runners. You can take a cross stitch pattern and lay out yoyos in the same manner and sew them together. I have a Christmas tree table topper made in this fashion. You can also use that method for decorating sweatshirts. Have fun or pass them on.

That is a beautiful quilt - thanks for posting!

letawellman, I love this: If our longevity is determined by all the things we want to do, then I will never die.

I think I will adopt it!

I also add them to everything

Yo Yos
 

I love Yo Yos. I make a lot of Angels and give them out at Nursing Homes etc. Not my idea I copied it from someone else.
