haha! me too! I have jars of YoYo's... and thus far, other than using them for decoration/embellishments, I have only made a deco pillow with a bunch of pink yoyos... but there is still hope, that some day I'll get around to making a Yoyo afghan... :>)

What a great find! I started a yo yo quilt awhile ago and quit at a pillow top. It's on my sofa. Maybe some day I'll try again with bigger yo yo's.

it appears to be 100% cotton, the way it (yoyos) washed and wrinkled....
as for the fabric,,, I see some yoyos where the fabric looks to be of the 1950's but most appear to be '60's - '70's...
None the less, I am thrilled to have scored this....

I found it via Goodwill.... yep, someone had no clue about what it is...
It was stitched together very well, and had been laundered.... there is one little spot where I will need to add a couple of stitches on 2 yoyos... looks like it was over looked...
it doesn't have a backing.... I could hand tack it to sheeting or something, but I actually like it just as it is...
I think I will bring it to Farm Chicks Glamping (end of May) and use it as a table cover during the day... or maybe just drape it over one of my dinette/banquette cushions in my trailer.

I'm working on making one of these and it is not easy!!! I can't imagine that someone would sell it for $7.00. Must not be the person who made it, that all I can say!
What a steal!
