Hi Ladies!
First off, I did NOT make this quilt! I do have permission to show you the quilt, however. (I ask & received a positive)
This is being made by an 80 year old lady for her daughter. It is almost done, likes a little on the edging, etc.
I have never been fond of Yo Yo quilts, but I have never had the pleasure of seeing one like this before either.
This is amazing!

Edited: There will be abt 6500 YoYo's in this when done, abt a 2 year effort, I am told in response to my questions. It will be a Queen size.

Melissa, you know I am not old enough to do this quilt!
She was 78 when she started this (abt) & I am still another year away from that!!!! :mrgreen: ha ha
Harmony, abt 2 years is what it has taken her.
Surely is tempting!!! (And I am not overly fond of Yo Yo Quilts but I DO love this one!)

I've never seen a yo-yo quilt as pretty as this one either! My guild's first opportunity quilt was a yo-yo quilt, and I helped with making some of the yo-yos. It was nice, but this one is outstanding! Tell her we think it's awesome!! :D

If I had to make 6500 yoyo's, I would be 78 before I ever got done!!! My ex SIL was going to make one and she had thousands of yoyo's and when they were moving, she put them in 2 garbage sacks and they must have gotten thrown away cause she never saw them again. She was SICK. Never even started another after that.Originally Posted by Riley
