Excellent tutorial for the yo-yo impaired like myself. I'll have to give it a shot.

Sushine,
The square yo-yos are entirely too cute! I can't remember where, a quilting catalog maybe, where I saw templates for making yo-yos that were flower shaped and heart shaped. I was really amazed and still can't quite wrap my head around how to do it! lol.
I'm so behind on my sewing but yo-yos are up there on my list!

Awesome tutorial, Sunshine! You make it look almost easy, even for those of us (like me) who are definitely craft-challenged.

seams like a lot of people on here and flicker and just in general are liking this tutorial. I guess being sick has a reward after all to bad I still feel miserable still over 100.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

I have the cold/flu/cough crud that has taken over my family. Yuck Yuck and double Yuck. not much sleep last night abd I swear I drink over a gallon of water a day just to keep hydrated.
I love the square yo-yo's and the perfect thing to work on when sleep is not an option. I am definately trying this. Found a bag of pre-cut quilt squares recently. Going to pull them out and give it a whirl. Wendy- you have the best ideas.

OK- so at the last three days of hockey tryouts I have made 10 of them- slow but going well. I love these. I will have to check out your blog to see how these all go together. How many do I need for a small throw blanket?

there are several ways of attach them either just in the rounded corners or along the sides to make a pretty solid piece of cloth with little openings in the corners you can also place crochet around them and incorporate them into a crocheted item just use a small hook and stab it straight through the edges of the yoyo. If you do needle lace filling stitches like you would use in hardanger, or teneriffe lace, or drawn or pulled thread work you can also attach them that way.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

I am not slow but maybe borderline crazy.......LOL
tryouts are an hour and I am also watching my 5 yr old run about and then also watching my son play so, ok maybe I am slow. First is the problem of putting the thread through the needle- shoulda brought me some magnifiers!!!!!!!!
I will work harder I promise =o] I can make 4 logs of soap in 45 minutes though!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I was multi-tasking too much.

Sunshine- I am up to 5 in 35 minutes. They are so cute and soon I will have enough to make a quilt. What backing do you suggest?

you can use just a nice piece of cotton with the edges sewn under or you can leave it open with no back as a spring coverlet. Also you can use needle filling stitches for strength in the open spots.
