LOVE MY YO-YO QUILT!

LOVE MY YO-YO QUILT!  it only took about 8 yrs. to get it all together-ha!  My Mom (who passed in 2000), my sister, my daughter and I all made Yo-yo's through the years of the peach and pretty printed materials.  I was not sure what I would do with them but had seen one in magazine that had been sewn together with no backing  and used as an overlay on their bed spread. 

 I decided to back mine and actually used heavy linen shower curtain material to back it.  This made it so heavy that I did not need batting at all.   Every yo-yo is hand stitched and sewn onto the backing .  Then Yesterday, I spent the whole afternoon machine stitching in rows over all the yo-yo's at their radius.  I still need to do some hand sewing here and there but I am really pleased with the finished Quilt which will be going on my 4-poster bed as a topper.

LOVE MY QUILT!

Just finished a crib size quilt top quilt 40" x 40".  I just love the way it came together as all my previous quilts were done by hand with thread and needle!  I am still working on 2 of them and it has been years! ha! I made this one in 2 days!  It is backed with pink flannel with white flowers on it.  It has quilt batting between the layers and the back was rolled to the front on all edges to make the border.  I really, really enjoyed working on this one.  Washed, it will be so fluffy and cozy!

I used unbleached cotton muslin for the plain squares and a package of precut color printed quilt squares 4 x 4 inches.  The flannel backing was from my stash and worked perfectly for the backing.  I would definitely use the pre-cut butterfly and striped/solid color squares again.  Just loved working on this quilt!

Offering this quilt for $45.00 plus postage of 8.00. PayPal link is in my sidebar.

Thanks for looking and please come again soon!  I LOVE CRAFTING!

(Please NOTE that this quilt has several buttons attached secured by strong quilting thread. If you feel that they are a choking hazard, do not use for children unless you cut the buttons off by cutting ON TOP of the stitch through the button.  Thank you!)
