I googles square yoyo quilt and the one I looked at, you sewed the yoyo's to a plain piece of square fabric and then the blocks were sewn together. Neat idea.

Where did you get the pattern? I would love to see it. Either that or a picture of your yoyos before you put them into a quilt.

My cousin Bessie has a quilt made with square yo-yos. It was started by our grandmother. Aunt Nannie, Bessie's mother, worked on it some. Then, Bessie completed. Bessie uses it on her bed for a bedspread. The oldest squares in the quilt are more than 50 years old. I'm surprised that the idea is new to so many quilters.
