    Don't waste your money. Just as fast with out the contraption. JMHO. Not cheap either. Takes more time and effort to put them in and center everything just so vs. just picking up the circle material and start stitching. drop one of those templates and they can travel for blocks.

Do you have any tips for quilting yo-yo quilts?

    Thank you for your thoughts,

    Love your quilt anxious to see it finished. Most quilters I've seen attach the yo yos after quilting. Love the colors and know it will be gorgeous when you're finished.
