With my Simple Things Quilt Along rolling around to an end (Photos, I hope, In the next day or two) I have stumbled across another "Along" group that has spiked my interest, but this time something a little different.
A "YoYo Along"!
I already have a couple of YoYo Makers hiding in a box somewhere so why not dig them out and have a go? The instructions call for a 60mm clover yoyo maker which has a finished yoyo at about 2 3/8" but the YoYo maker that I have is slightly smaller, making a completed yoyo of approx 1.8" but that will not deter me. I will still make the same number of YoYo's but my finished object will be just a little smaller.
The basics of the YoYo Along are ...... 1008 YoYo's - which meant 7.5 YoYo's a day if you joined right back on day one. Currently I have 44 so I am about 150 behind but I don't think that should be to hard to catch up on (fingers crossed I can do this!!!) :o) When all the YoYo's are made we are going to be joining them by machine so the quilt will be a lot more sturdier than hand stitching.
I am using this YoYo Along as a way of using up some scraps. I have never done a totally scrap quilt before so I am really looking forward to this.
Penny over at Sewtakeahike has all the details on size etc so if you are interested in joining pop over and take a look.
Feel free to jump on board and if you do, don't forget to grab the super cute button and tracker :o)
Happy stitching, Sharon
