Lulu's Yoyo's

I'm starting my Lulu's Yoyo's quilt!  

I adore this quilt. I love the Whimsy fabrics it was made from in this pic., BUT unfortunately, I don't have access to that anymore!

 

I decided to try it with some of these random fabrics I got at a discount.

Not sure if it goes this way up....

Or this way up.....

 

Some of the fabrics come from this line....the Tawny Scrawny Lion fabrics made for Quilting Treasures. I thought some of them were pretty ugly until I realized they went together and what they were for! Now, I can't wait to make a quilt out of these cute cute fabrics!!

 

2 or 3 weeks later..........

have to place flowers and ric rac and applique those leaves on before I can quilt....

cute machine quilting pattern!

oops, I forgot the buttons..

the best way to applique yoyos on to a quilt for me is to machine tac them down in 5 or 6 places around the edges. that way they still have some puffiness. the edges aren't squashed down, but they're held in place.
