You'd have to align them dead center or they'll look "off" and be a distraction, IMO.

MaryAnna 11-04-2010 03:50 PM

Looks fabulous as is! Great job!
Blessings,

Beautiful quilt-my vote would be without-it is stunning with its "traditionalism" and lovely quilting-doesn't need the extra. Just my opinion

shequilts 11-04-2010 03:59 PM

I woldn't add them. Although pretty yoyos, they sort of look like you just stuck something in the space. Let the beautiful quilt stand along. It will!

KGoodhand 11-04-2010 04:00 PM

Very beautiful quilt! But I do agree that without the yoyos the quilt is great! The yoyos are cute but a bit distracting on this particular quilt.

Theresa 11-04-2010 04:02 PM

Being a yo-yo fan, love the placement of these on the quilt! Adds some character! :-)

bj 11-04-2010 04:07 PM

I like it without the yoyo's. I think they take away from the beautiful fans and the quilting. They look a little like an afterthought. Love your quilt, btw.

redquilter 11-04-2010 04:11 PM

Gorgeous quilt and I vote no yo-yo's. Takes away from the quilt itself.

mcdaniel023 11-04-2010 04:18 PM

Keep it tradition without the yoyos. It is a beautiful quilt!

mommamac 11-04-2010 04:22 PM

The eye is drawn to the yo yos & detracts from the beautiful work of your plates - I'd opt not to use them.

M. Wills 11-04-2010 04:23 PM

The quilt is beautiful without the yoyos.

littlehud 11-04-2010 04:40 PM

It's a beautiful quilt but I think I would do without the yoyos. Just my opinion. :-)

buddy'smom 11-04-2010 04:48 PM

No yo-yo's wins!!!! Thank you, guess this saves me alot of sewing. Thanks everyone.

Latrinka 11-04-2010 04:52 PM

I think without. Doesn't need anything extra. Gorgeous quilt!

LeeAnn 11-04-2010 05:21 PM

Beautiful quilt! Great job.

ljsunflower 11-04-2010 05:25 PM

Beautiful quilt. I have never liked yo yo's but if you do then put them on there.

klgreene 11-04-2010 05:31 PM

I think without. It detracts from the beautiful job you did on the Dresden corners. I love it.

lovequilts 11-04-2010 06:23 PM

No YoYo's.....It's beautiful

earthwalker 11-04-2010 06:26 PM

I am an avid embellisher, but I think the Suffolk puffs (yoyos) detract from the elegance of the Dresden design.

Bluebonnet Sue 11-04-2010 06:50 PM

My vote...without. Beautiful quilt already.

quilter2 11-04-2010 07:22 PM

The quilt is beautiful, I'd say without.

CarrieAnne 11-04-2010 07:29 PM

Its beautiful!

nlgh 11-04-2010 08:42 PM

I have seen other DPquilts with a bullseye pieced at the intersections of the plate blocks and they add to the quilt IMO. I think the yo-yos would work if their center is centered over the intersection of the 4 blocks and that would not be very hard to do.

peabee 11-05-2010 03:32 AM

love it any way you do it

Lockeb 11-05-2010 03:35 AM

OH, I love it.......dresden plates and yo-yo's - how wonderful is that....SUPER!!!!

rootyr 11-05-2010 03:50 AM

Without. It is beautiful!

mrs. fitz 11-05-2010 04:32 AM

I like yo-yos but not on this beautiful quilt; they look like an afterthought.

Hammockhanger 11-05-2010 05:16 AM

This quilt is stunning. The yo yos are a no go for me.

sandpat 11-05-2010 05:32 AM

That quilt is a beauty and I'm glad you made the no yo-yo decision.

shopaholic97 11-05-2010 08:19 AM

I like it without the yo=yo's

NorBanaquilts 11-05-2010 08:20 AM

I'd say without.

LETIA 11-05-2010 08:22 AM

Beautiful quilt !!!

gramquilter2 11-05-2010 08:24 AM

I too am a big fan of yo-yo's, but I would leave them off this quilt, it is beautiful without them. Maybe put them on a pillow made from some of the leftover quilt fabric.

shufer1 11-05-2010 08:31 AM

great quilt - if you want the yoyo's, use them as centers for the dresden plates.

Sheree from Chicago 11-05-2010 08:41 AM

What a great quilt!

buddy'smom 11-05-2010 08:49 AM

Thanks so much everyone for all your help, it's a no yo-yo quilt for sure!

Quiltylady 11-05-2010 08:50 AM

Love the quilt. I would choose not to use the yo-yos. They are a distraction to the beautiful plates.

quiltedlamb07 11-05-2010 08:52 AM

without is my vote as well, very beautiful quilt

belmer 11-05-2010 09:29 AM

Beautiful quilt. Love the yoyo's!
