    Here is a pic of my Christmas yo yo quilt. It has 3.456 yo yos and took me 2 years from start to finish. It is made of all Christmas fabric. I did the yo yos at night and put in a basket, when I had enough to start putting them together, that when the real work began. This fits a queen sized bed and tucks under the pillows and is HEAVY!

    Love it! I made a yo-yo quilt with scraps, it's home is on a quilt rack in the livingroom. Takes a lot of time, but well worth it.

    LOVE your yo-yo quilt. Truly a labor of love, I made a wallhanging, my yo-yo's were the size of a quarter and I do know the amount of work that goes into something like this, Happy Quilting

    Cute! Are they on a backing or just connected together?

    I'm 'in the process' of making yo-yos. People ask me what I'm going to make with them and I say - I don't know yet - I'm just keeping myself busy :)

    So far not even a shoe box full...so I have a long way to go for a quilt...but that's ok ... I'm enjoying the process.

    Yikes, I can't even begin to imagine how many hours that took. Love the end result though :-)
