The Plan Comes to Fruition

On June 11 I said the yo-yos I showed in my tutorial were part of a plan to calm down the Stack ‘N’ Whack blocks I made.  So what did I do with 30 yo-yos?  Drum roll …

I made 15 of these blocks to alternate with the Stack ‘N’ Whack blocks.  I hadn’t intended to do the applique by hand. However,  since I’ve spent so much time in the last three weeks with my leg propped, it was easier to do it by hand.  You already saw how I made the yo-yos.  I made the stems with a Clover bias tape maker and the leaves I drew on freezer paper and used for a pattern.

I finished the quilt top at about 11:45 last night.  So did my plan work to calm down the blocks?

I think so.  I think it shifted the focal point from those busy blocks to the cherries.  The Stack ‘N’ Whack blocks now play second fiddle to the applique blocks.
