They often get confused with Pennies, which are from a primitive pattern. The difference between Pennies and Yo-Yo's is the Pennies are stacked and the Yo-Yo's are 2 sided. Click on both highlights to see 2 different postings about Pennies.
I've only seen a double sized Yo-Yo quilt once....it was beautiful!
The whole thing was Yo-Yo's stitched side to side except when it came to the area of the pillows. There it was a empty square with just a few rows connecting up and down over where the pillow would be, expeensive!
I purchased these Yo-Yo's at a auction, they were in a shirt box with a note telling me how many....1,830, enough for a double size.
Since then I've added from all my scraps, I'm guessing I have about 2,500 and counting.
I LOVE the vintage pink....and the modern pinks that are shown above. I hope to soon! Have my blanket started.
So are you going to make a quilt? I'd love to see that. It looks as though someone spent SO much time. Could not even imagine.

Oh, I love yo-yo's! I made dozens of them last summer and haven't done a thing with them, yet. I especially love the vintage fabric prints.
