74.Fine Stitching on My Yo Yo Quilt Hightower Stitching

Part 2 of my yo yo revisited project of a pillow and a quilt. See my progress and watch as I share the stitching related to attaching the 285 yo yos to the quilt.
Notes:
1. Use a sharp needle and good thread (white for lights, brown/blue/black thread for dark colored yo yos)
2. Use a well lit location.

The idea of sewing yo yos onto to a quilt is absolutely wonderful. That quilt looks beautiful. Great idea.

Woow so beautiful i love this ❤

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

These quilts always look great. I did one with a chocolate brown rather than blue. I did several without the color strips.. Thank you!

[@djstarrjunkie]

Great idea!

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

Great to do if you like 'hand' work.

[@juliegolub2602]

Great idea! Thank you 💓

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

Thank you for visiting!

[@bnyzhny]

What a Charming whimsical concept! Thank you, Stephanie - especially appreciate your techniques for fine-stitching the yo-yos in the muddle bulkier sections of the quilt. 👏🥰

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

Thank you so much!

[@suescholz4645]

Stunning and different. The yo-yos are so relaxing to make. Your quilt will be added to my “to make” list.

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

You are right! Every so often I go back to the yo yos and make something! Thank you!

[@quiltingforthesoul]

[@suehorn4182]

I bet Hexies would look cute too ❤️

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

I have a box of hexies I could use to try this out. I love hand piecing. Thank you for sharing!

[@robinmanly7381]

That is a stunning quilt! Thank you for sharing!

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

Thank you; being smaller, it was fun to sit and stitch.

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

You amaze me!! This is beautiful!! I love your creative energy.

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

I had just too many yo-yos and loved how any of the colors go together!

[@thequiltingowl]

a beautiful quilt

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

Thank you! It has turned out to be one of our favorites.

[@A3l.Legal.deviceping]

Cool Idea!..a must make...now...thanks

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

Have fun!

[@TheTeddybear1992]

I liked this, I'm trying to get into quilting and this one looks easy enough to try, time consuming obviously, but easy to start with, ty🥰🤗

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

My 92 year old neighbor has started again sewing yo yos. They are fun to make and almost all cotton fabrics....any colors....look great together. Also, you can take the project with you any where! Have fun and relax!

[@TheTeddybear1992]

@@StephanieKitchens4340 thank you, it'll help me thru this rough time we've just had

[@Westernwilson]

This is adorable, Stephanie, love the colours! How do you make your yo-yo's so they are durable? I always worry about that centre gathering coming undone.

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

I do the centers a couple of ways. One I leave a longer tail of thread when I start to gather; when I get to the end, I leave the end longer. Then tie the two several times in a knot. My neighbor, who is 92, can't pull that well and she found she could run the threads over and over in one spot. We have not trouble with this way either. Hope these help! You will find that no matter what colors you use, the projects look great!

[@mavisharris5123]

How do you make the yo-yo's?

[@StephanieKitchens4340]

I thought I had all of the yo yo videos in a playlist...but not now. So, I made a yo yo related playlist. Try that. The older videos have 'how to'. Enjoy!
