Yo yos are made by:
1. cutting circles of fabric
2. running a line of stitching around near the outside edge
3. pulling carefully to make a smaller circle
4. flattening the "shape" into a circle with the small 'hole" at the
center of the circle
5. these yo-yos are then attached to each other to make a cloth of
sorts, which can be used for a beadspread, pillow top or even for
clothing.There are many spaces between the attached circles as you can
imagine. Not an item to Keep You Warm!
If I can find the photos of a yo yo item, I'll post them.

My Mom passed away 3 years ago. In her stash, there were yo-yos. I
made them into pillow tops at Christmas and a laptop quilt for my
niece. I still had pieces, as well as yo-yos left, so now I have a
stash of yo-yos and "yo-yos to be". I knit charity items while
watching TV, and sometimes, also stitch up a few yo-yos. I have
collected photos of completed yo-yo bed quilts to guide me toward my
final goal.
O.K. Information please - what is a yo-yo quilt - not a term used
here. But then quilting in the U.S is not quite the same at all,
anyway!
