Can any one help me I am looking for some patterns for yo yo quilts and also to know if there are any measurements available for making different size yo yo quilts

any measurement you make them is the right one...they are without requirements and they are round....

yo-yo makers are wonderful tools!
fon's & porter's love of quilting magazine featured a yo-yo strip quilt a few months ago- visit their web site- it is probably archived- it was a cover quilt
just search yo-yo quilts there are many many uses for yo-yo's

Just finished Yo-Yo Ville
 
I recently finished a quilt top called Yo-Yo Ville by Bunny Hill Designs. I used the Clover Y-Yo maker and the yo-yo's turned out perfectly (after I finished 90 on my own that I re-did). I really enjoyed making the whole quilt top, all aspects of it, and I gave it to my Mother (84) (I will quilt it soon) for Christmas. I just finished today a quilt top called Back on the Farm by McKenna Ryan and have also enjoyed working on that quilt top as well. I gave it to my Daddy (90) (I will quilt it soon) for Christmas.

I use the yo-yo maker and really like that they go fast and are consistant. The tool is available in several sizes.

I saw a yo-yo quilt at Ethan Allen for $900. It was made of unbleached muslin. I think it was just muslin sewed together with the batting inside and then the yo-yos were sewn on and that quilted the quilt. It was done with all ecru yo-yos...some were patterned and some were plain...top was solidly topped with yo-yos and the back showed hand quilted in circles. I hope this is clear. I added it to my "must do" list.
