This is a continuation of Yo Yo Fabric Blocks ~ Fun and Creative Ideals.  My guides explore the endless possibility of using the fabric yo yo block to create many different projects ~ new and old. If you would like to start at the beginning, click here: Yo Yo Fabric Blocks ~ Fun Creative Ideals ~ Part 1

This part will be featuring some of the many different quilts/coverlets. All pieces are made from fabric yo yos, but I will take the liberty to name them by design, which will be from documented quilt pattern names. None of the quilts features have fabric on the back ~ they are all made with connecting yo yos. Notice the solid colored yo yos that break up the blocks.

All pictures are used with the permission of the sellers. Without their generosity, all my guides would be less effective.

 

# 13: Vintage Sampler Block Baby Yo Yo Quilt. This quilt was from my private collection. It is made up of 36 yo yo blocks, using a finished sized yo yo of 1 1/2" in diameter. Only white, pink and blue depression era fabrics were used.  No two blocks are the same.

 

                                           

 

                                          

 

 

 

# 14: Vintage Block Yo Yo Quilt. This is an example of a simple, yet effective yo yo block quilt! Each block is made up of 16 yo yos and attached by a double row of white yo yos. The finished size is 65" x 82". Picture courtesy of ebay seller: pmfeld.

                                         

 

 

 

# 15: Vintage Postage Stamp Style Yo Yo Quilt. This quilt measures 82" x 92". It has the yo yos made out of that fabulous 1930's green to separate the different blocks. A purple yo yo is in the center of each block, surrounded by depression era fabric yo yos. It has a nicely designed edge, as well. Picture courtesy of ebay seller: *verdigris*.
