Yo-Yo Bloom

"Yo-Yo Bloom" by Rachaeldaisy is one of her contemporary yo-yo quilts.

Yo-Yo Bloom shows off Rachaeldaisy's half-half yo-yos. Having made a few Modern yo-yo quilts before, this half-half technique came about because Rachaeldaisy was at a quilt show admiring a beautiful vintage yo-yo quilt. As she viewed the quilt, some women came by and said that yo-yos were so boring and old-fashioned. She didn't say anything, but in her mind and heart, she felt that it was now her challenge to set out and show that yo-yos can have a really fun, bright side to them, and this quilt was the result. Since then she has made several yo-yo quilts that are bright, happy, and, in her eyes, a bit more contemporary.
