Yo-Yo Quilt

Here is my latest quilt. It is batik yo-yos sewn on a black background. I attached the yo-yos to the black with perle cotton.

AMAZEBALLS! I love graphic quilts like this! How big are those yo-yos? I am thinking of making something like this and make it my travelling project as I travel. Kudos!

Stunning....love the way you have put this together...each little yoyo seems to shine. Love the black quilting around each.

I love this quilt!!! I more than love it-and I have always intended to make one!! Never seen one set on black, but it is gorgeous! My MIL made one and didn't attach it to a back so you can place it on top of any color-I'm seriously hoping it falls into my hands someday!!

seamstome 01-30-2012 06:43 PM

Cool. Love the black

quiltedkitty 01-30-2012 06:45 PM

Wow. It's beautiful. Great job.

luce321 01-30-2012 07:07 PM

Margaret, your quilt is just beautiful. One of my favorites is yo-yo's, and I really like that you did something different like not joining the yo-yo-'s. They really pop on that black background. I also like the fabrics you used, are they batiks?

Grandma Peg 01-30-2012 07:15 PM

Your quilt is just beautiful. Great idea and love the colors. They really pop on the black.

Tweety2911 01-30-2012 07:24 PM

You did an amazing job! Love the colors of your yo yos! Setting them all on the black really makes them stand out beautifully!

mzmama 01-30-2012 07:26 PM

I have such a fasination with yo yo's. I love what you did with your's.
I love batiks and I love yo yo's so I love your quilt.

ruthie 01-30-2012 07:47 PM

Very pretty. The colors are striking.

ctack2 01-30-2012 08:25 PM

Very very nice! How in the world did you get them spaced so evenly? I can guarantee I couldn't do it. lol.

pineneedles4 01-31-2012 01:55 AM

OMG! How cool is this!

dilyn 01-31-2012 02:01 AM

Prettiest yoyo quilt I have ever seen! nice job!

rootyr 01-31-2012 02:40 AM

Amazing! Did you sew yo- yos on by hand??

margaret53 01-31-2012 02:58 AM

Thanks for all your kind comments. This quilt was a pattern from Better Homes and Gardens Patchwork Quilting magazine. It was a lot of fun. I started the yo-yo's with about a 5" circle. It was great handwork because my only machine sewing was sewing the strips together and attaching the binding. I found another one made by quilt4me: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t119908.html.

Gilly 01-31-2012 03:00 AM

Its amazing!!!!! Love it! (my colors)

Lorraine Simon 01-31-2012 03:00 AM

what a great chain effect this one has. I'm sure it took many hours.
Love it.
