Yo-Yo Quilt
















I have made more than 300 yo-yo's since the end of July. In doing so I have used up most of my smaller stash of fabric. I have them in purple, pinks, and blues. To make my first quilt, I have chose to work in the pinks. I pinned together 16 of 9 yo-yo sets adding up to 144. I now realize that i need 3 times that to make a large quilt. So now I have to decide on my next fabrics to purchase because you know I'll never find the exact fabrics I had. I think I will work around the 9 blocks with tone-on-tone of pinks and creams. Any way here is my first picture. Those corner yo-yo's are really pink and the tiny flowers in the between them are pink too.

My first yoyo


















They are called yoyo's. I'm not sure why except maybe because they are round? But anyway I made my first one today. I hope to make a lot more as they are easy to transport while you wait in lines or offices. What will I make with them? I was thinking just some small projects. Stay tuned as I figure it out.














Also my daughter in Tennessee bought me this John Deere Bank to save money for a farm. Too cute!! Love you Teresa!!
