This is the center of a yo-yo quilt I have designed for son & DIL. It'll be 1500+ yo-yos. Red, black, & red & white. Will have W in the middle for family name , & heart around the "W". Hope to have finished by January. Haven't decided what color backing to attach it to as of yet. Have about half of the yo-yos finished. They are 2" each.

just have them laid out and not permanently attached yet.

You have to be bonkers to do this quilt, or just Yo Yo. Wink, Wink. :roll: :roll: :thumbup:

Wow!! That will be just gorgeous when it is done. I hope you will share pictures when it is finished.

Wow! I love yo yo's , but maybe not that much to do 1500 of them!

It is going to be great, great, great. If the yo yo's will be red and black and white, maybe a light grey fabric underneath? Just a thought. No need to decide now.

Good work, and keep us updated on your progress!

Still working on it everyday....literally going in circles....LOL>

1,500???? What size will it be? I'm having second thoughts about the one on my wish list for my king size bed.

boopisit 10-17-2011 03:09 PM

I started with 6 in circles. It will be a King size...but I did have to adjust it. I had it going to be 35 X 43 yo yos but it was too big so I went with a 35 x 35 yo yos. it will hang over about 4 on each side and some on foot. So it will be 1225 yo yos now. I have sewn 18 rows of them so far but not connected but 3 rows so far. I want to have all the rows complete before I attach all 35 rows together.
