WOW, that is so pretty. I tried to make a heart yo-yo and well let's just say it in no way resembled a heart. I even used the yo-yo heart maker.

This is so clever and so original and, of course, red is the perfect color!

Impressive. Love the back fabric!

Hi, everyone.
When the this new Clover Large Heart YoYo Maker became available in the shop and February was right around the corner, Eleanor showed everyone in her Block of the Month class in January how to make the Heart YoYo. I was addicted to making hearts. In my addiction I decided to make a vest of heart yoyos. Last year my Guild had a 5" red square exchange. I used all 48 5" squares for this project. That's 1 yard of fabric for the hearts and I bought 1/3 yard to make the grid, the back was 1 yard. There wasn't a pattern for the vest, I just outline a vest I had and went from there.

Thank you for all the compliments.
I enjoyed making it as well as sharing.
Patty
