I was inspired by the yo-yos in a vintage quilt at the recent San Diego Quilt Show, so I have been making a bunch of them lately with my Clover yo-yo making tools.
These jumbo-sized ones (3.5 inches in diameter) are made of scrumptious Belgian linen fabric hand-printed by Michelle Engel Bencsko of cicadastudio. She has a new line of lovely quilting fabrics that just came out, too. Lots to look forward to as fall heads our way.

I've never seen a vintage yo-yo quilt with a pattern like that... fantastic! Will you do a similar style with Michelle's fabric?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished piece!
I'm thinking of using the yo-yos as embellishment on a handbag I'm making. Nothing as ambitious as a full-size quilt--yet. But you never know. Often my projects start out as one thing and morph into something else midstream! The joy and surprise of creativity....
