    I find the best way is to use the yo yo makers from Clover, you'll get the same, consistant size everytime. You can then sew together in rows or use grandmother's flower garden layout

    You can stitch them together or stitch them down to a backing :D:D:D

    I use the Clover yo yo makers. They are very easy to use and you don't have to cut all those circles. I put a small round piece of batting in the jumbo yo yo before gathering and made a nice puffy throw pillow for the bed.

    Clover is a brand name. You can see all their stuff at http://www.clover-usa.com . They have a lot of cool notions.

    If you have a joann's nearby they sell some clover notions and also I've seen (and bought) some at Michaels.

    Hobby Lobby has the Clover products. I always use the 40% off coupon there for Clover products.
