I have gotten yoyo fever, and I’m now making yoyos of all colors with all kinds of dots. I can’t wait to get what I plan to be a quilt or throw finished. Only trouble is, I keep finding more neat dotted fabric to add to the ones I have. I’m only making about 10 to 12 yoyos with each different fabric. I have about 2500 right now, and the count grows each day. If you have any ideas about assembling the piece after I finish, I’d appreciate it. I’m thinking about making squares each with 16 yoyos then surrounding the dots with solid yoyos in those colors. I’ve tried it, and I think it will look good, but if you have an even juicier idea please let me know. Thanks, Mary Ann

What a cute way to use scraps and create a homemade Christmas that has a lot of style. You could use any colors that you like – get creative. I would love to make this for our tree!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Love those yo-yos. I make them often and have a few hundred made up. Use them on anything. Latest, making Christmas ornies and adding to a baby quilt to cover a few square patches that didn’t quite match up right..

Oops – this is supposed to be a garland – it would make a great necklace too!

Love this gorgeous, colorful necklace. I enjoy making yoyo’s, about the only hand sewing I do. I find your blog to be inspiring. Thanks!
