How To Make A Yo-Yo Quilt Top - Part Two

In part one of this lesson we discuss how to attach your yo-yos to the quilting strips that you cut for your quilt top.  So now that you have attached all of you yo-yos, what next?

Supplies that you will need to finish this project:
sewing machine (or you can sew them by hand using a quilters running stitch)
iron/ironing board
scissors

Follow the steps below to finish your quilt top:
1.  Pin two of your finished strips right sides together.

2. Sew strips together - 1/4" seam allowance.








3. Lay right side down on the ironing board and press seam to one side.


4. Turn over and make sure that your seam pressed out correctly.  Pressing the seam is a little more difficult due to the lumpy nature of this quilt top.


5.  Repeat steps 1-4 until all of your strips have been sewn together. 

Now you have a yo-yo quilt top!!
