quilt info needed

And of course I meant to write "sewn"

I think they are yo-yos but the other way up to usual.

Cheers Anne

Yes, Giant Suffolk Puffs!! I wouldn't like to tackle ones of that size even with the gadget I got at the show yesterday, and think of the yardage they'd take.

Gees, haven't seen or heard of "puffs". Edna, it looks like we yet another new thing to learn! Donna

Thoughts? Oh my, yes. Thank you for showing that to us. It seems to be several sizes for the yo-yos and that they are slip-stitched to a light-weight base instead of to each other. A very interesting collection of colors/fabrics, don't you think? Should be easy to do if you can endure the repetition. That was fun. If you find anything else that unusual, please share with us.

Howdy!

Yo-yos, different sizes, puckered-face up. Some of the fabric prints hide the puckering. Sewn on to a base, yes "stitched to a field of soft grey voile"; solemn. Interesting. "hand twisted rosettes" - they don't know much about quilts, do they? Just made up a term. "Imported" - that explains it. I prefer my yo-yos in one size, sewn to each other; more delicate but prettier, IMO.

i cant get any pix to show on that link. i can search the site tho, what am i looking for, whats its name? j.

Run you mouse over the quilt for a close up, looks like the pieces are pleated, and then not joined together but sown onto a base.

My friend and I are having a discussion? over this, any thoughts?

that would be right tho. sowing the seeds of an idea i believe it is. j.

no one i know on rctq buys that stuff. we'd all make our own and they'd be better made and last much much longer. well seems to me thats the case anyhow. j.

I wasn't thinking of buying it, #1 They don't ship to Australia ..#2..I couldn't afford to buy it.

I was intrigued as to how they achieved the effect. Doesn't appear to be ordinary yo-yos/suffolk puffs to me, they are pleated with tight centers.

Thanks for all your thoughts though, I attempted a larger circle but it didn't look anything like theirs.
