I have now done over 300 yo-yo'a since July 30 and it you all's fault I have become so addicted. I have pined togeter 16 sets of 9 to make 144 of one color combination and realize i need at least 3 times that for a quilt. since i problably wont find the exact fabrics I guess I'll have to go with either a whole new 9 set of sim colors or do 9 sets of solid creams and pinks. I will post on my blog what they will look like.

ROFL.....oh the things we get addicted too, aren't these just so very hard to put down. You can see results for one quickly, I think that is part of the allure. But so much fun. Still laughing.....
Enjoying life. |

am I supposed to feel sad I think I am in need of rehab if you have an addiction to yoyos as I have a quilt for a doll bed with over 800 mini yoyos ( quarter size) I am making with one I just finished for suzyhomeker with over 200 in it and another I am making for my daughter with over 1000 cd size ones in it. Then a few other doilies around the house AI have made for chairs and tables and a st patricks day garland made out of them too.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

| I'm addicted too! Since sending in 100 for the swap last week, I have made about 150 more. I have fabric cut out for probably another 200. I am going to make my two boys and my niece yoyo clowns for Christmas. I would also like to make a yoyo quilt at some point in the future. |

I just started yo-yoing (is that a word?) and I love it. I am almost finshed with mine for the swap and I am going to continue using my scrap fabric to make them. They are a lot easier than I thought now that I have the hang of it. My husband thinks that is all I do lately is "sew those little round things". I'm sure he will like it once he sees them made into something.

Well at least this is an obsession you can can deal with at home, I have to leave the house to go to the thrift.

So Gals,
You must show & tell what you are doing with all these yo-yo's...
Any directions? Sounds like this is a great way to use up scraps.

Don't know what I'm going to do with mine. I just keep making them. Maybe just sit around and look at them or play with them. I'm totally addicted too!!! Any excuse to buy more fabric!
