Another Yo-Yo Quilt?

YES!  It is not mine yet, but it is in my possession!

98" x92", per note attached.

(Goes to floor on all sides, Full Size Bed, with deep pillow lap)

Even closer!

I failed to take a picture of the back, but will soon.  I will also put a white sheet under it rather than my pink bedspread which doesn't show it very well.

I had seen this quilt (and a second yo-yo quilt) at an estate sale several weeks ago, but didn't think I could afford them.  I told a friend about them, and he decided to buy them, hoping to re-sale them. He brought them to me before Christmas and asked if I could make a few repairs for him, so that's why I have them now.   I do plan to buy this one from him, and help him sell the second one maybe.  (I'll show a picture of it later.)  I haven't calculated the number of yo-yo's yet, but they are 1.5" in diameter.  I do know there's a LOT of yo-yo's there!

Both quilts are in excellent condition, and clean!  Both were hand-stitched, by the same person I'm pretty sure.  The one shown here had only one repair to be made (that I found anyway).  While some of the colors would not have been my choice, the pink "sashings" are the perfect color for my bedroom! It is not something I'd keep in use all the time anyway, so I think I can live with it for special times.

The second quilt has several yo-yo's that have separated, but I'm working on those.   It's not hard; just time-consuming.  However, not nearly as many repairs are needed as were needed on that first hexagon yo-yo quilt I bought!  I may decide to buy the second one too, (if he will let me pay it out!  I had an expensive December, remember?).

I still haven't decided what I'll start on next.  I need to decide on something tomorrow before I go to the old guild group meeting for a sew time together.  I'm thinking maybe some HST's or 4-patches from my Civil War stash.  I don't have a plan in mind yet, but those can be used in so many ways, and I surely need to use those fabrics!  My sons and grandsons would probably like those much more than more pink and green flowers!  I'll give that some thought.

Just couldn't wait any longer to show you the yo-yo quilt.  More to come later.

If you are in the U.S., stay warm, wherever you are!  It's cold here in Texas, but not as bad as up north, I know.  I just couldn't live up there!  If you are in Australia or another hot place, try to stay cool!  Time changes everything, doesn't it?

Happy quilting!
