I love to make the round yo-yo's. I don't use the makers, just cut circles and sew them up. I've made thousands the last several years and use them in various craft projects and sewing projects. I've never made a bed spread with them since I wouldn't use it.

AND i probably won't be using them all that much in the future.

I did purchase two sizes of the heart and all of the circles and the small flower. I don't recommend the heart or flower as they make me want to scream and tear my hair out. LOL
The smallest circle makes a teeny tiny button sized Yoyo. It is sooo cute.. I have not used the ginormous circle yet but I'm thinking that one will eat up alot of fabric fast.
I have a couple of pamphlets that have projects that you can use Yo yo's with.
Your quilt looks Lovely and please if you have made anything else with your Yo yos post pics for us?
Thanks for sharing.
:XD:

Where did you get pamphlets on yo yos?

Gee, you would ask me that. lol
I usually get stuff like that at garage sales/close-outs at hobby/craft stores. PM me and I'll see if I can get you one.
