This all started with making yoyo's on a trip with friends to the Sew Expo in Puyallup WA in the spring of 2010. I always have to have a project to be working on, so this time it was the yoyo's! The pattern originally only had the first set of squares around the center blocks, so, as usual, I have enlarged the pattern. It is now finished at 22 1/2 x 50 1/2", including the second row of squares and the black border. I have quilted this on my Nolting Pro 24" machine with ruler work, and a little free motion (around the beards). I love ruler work, especially the cross hatching around the clover in the center. The project was actually began and finished in 2010! That is unusual for me!!
