Wow, I have a quilt that I started over 10 years ago. May pick it up again. Yours is just beautiful. I can understand why you would only want to display it on special occasions.

Do you have a bigger picture? I can barely make out the shapes. It looks colorful though! :-)

I am so happy you posted the close-ups of the yo-yos! It's a gorgeous masterpiece! But what I appreciate most is that I have learned what I have been doing wrong. I am self-taught and somehow I missed something. I have always had a problem ending the yoyo. I have been trying to close the circle in the center. I see that you have a nice little circle left open. So, it's back to the drawing board for me.

I signed the back of one of the yo-yos with my name and the quilt #100

The shape of the yo-yos is round, then to get them stitch together I had to take a few whip stitches on four sides. That distorts the roundness a little bit.
I can't post a larger picture right now, but you when you are on the page with the pictures you can click on View in the menu bar at the top of the window and the pick a larger size to display the page. I think the images will be sharp even if you select to zoom it to 400%. you can get a little more detail of the fabrics that way also.
