Marilyn's Baskets of Yoyos

The quilt was designed by Marilyn in 2010 and is published by Golden Ruler Designs, owned by Crys Kyle. The quilt consists of 32 different basket blocks (20 are 9” blocks and 12 are 6"). The borders are vines with appliqued leaves accented with three different sizes of yoyos. The fabric is Kim Diehl's Winsome line, her first line of fabric manufactured by Henry Glass.

The BOM costs are $20 for the start-up kit which includes the yoyos and the sashing for the 6" blocks and $15 a month for 12 months. The first month will be $35, but it gives you a chance to work on the yoyos gradually throughout the year. You will need to provide your own background fabric which will give you a chance to individualize the quilt, about 5 1/2 yards. We will have samples of the Winsome line in the shop to help you with your background fabric selection.

There will be a class on the second Saturday morning of every month at 8:30 to demonstrate the piecing steps. At the end of this BOM you will be very comfortable with 1/2 square triangles, 1/4 square triangles and Y seams (not to mention making yoyos!).

If you would like the patterns mailed to you monthly there will be a $5 charge for each mailing.

To sign up, we need credit card information and the first payment of $35. You may pay with cash, check or credit card throughout the year. Marilyn's Baskets of Yoyos is limited to the first 60 participants.
