Tuesday after basting my quilts I stopped at JoAnn’s to pick up more background fabric for my uneven nine patch. I was unable to find an exact match for one of them. As a scrap quilter that doesn’t bother me too much. It’s close though it reads lighter than the other one. After completing the top I grabbed my yo yo maker and made a bunch of yo yos for the intersections. Want to learn how to make your own yo yo’s? Try this tutorial.
I might need to make one more. Not sure I’m thrilled with the first one in the second row. It’s a little to dark next to the background.
I had so much fun making yo yos I got on Pintrest to spark my creativity. Here are a few of the fun projects I found.

I've never made yo-yos but I like the way you are using them in your quilt. 🙂
I really like the yoyo’s as cornerstones. Your quilt is beautiful! Have fun with your yo-yo projects.
Your Improved Nine-patches look so good with added yoyos. I like the little owls, too. Thanks.
I like your improved nine patch quilt!
The high value colors in your quilt look awesome! that's right right? Volume = presence of color? Value = Saturation of color? I'm off do do some research now. lol
I love the bright cheerful colors. I think the yoyos make a perfect addition to your quilt at the corners.
Your quilt looks like fun. I used to make yoyo clowns..always a fun project.
