Yo-Yos

In the last few weeks I've bought several Clover Yo Yo makers. Two in Paducah of the large size, one to keep and one to give away to one of the Library quilters. I liked mine so much that I bought two more at my local quilt shop, the small and the jumbo -- so I've been making yo-yos. And apparently lots of other people have too.

This yo-yo wreath appliqued quilt is by Barbara Smith and won first place for an appliqued bed quilt. Please notice that each yo-yo has a blending or contrasting color laid inside.

This one, Blue Poppies, by the same artist, uses yo-yos as centers for the dimensional blue flowers. Her descriptive sheet mentions that the yo-yos are padded with batting.

I particularly like the orange and blue color scheme. This combination showed up several times.These are wonderful crisp, classic quilts.
