Could it be? Why yes it could!Yo Yo's! Tons of them. Old Yo Yo's. Vintage Yo Yo's. A box full of Vintage Yo Yo's.
"For real?" I say. "Yes", she says.
100's of Vintage Yo Yo's. All hand sewn into blocks. 
There are 10 blocks total. 
In Vintage fabrics.
Hidden in the box were some circles of fabric waiting to be made into a Yo Yo. And some loose Yo Yo's too. 
The Yo Yo blocks need to be cleaned. I am afraid. So instead I'll pretend I cleaned them and hang them on the clothesline. It makes for a pretty picture. 
I think I will make a baby quilt with them. Then someday when I'm a grandma, I can snuggle with the grandbabies under the Vintage Yo Yo's that my friend gave to me.You can see the Quilt I made using a Quilt I bought at the store and hand sewing these vintage Yo Yo blocks onto it... HERE...

You lucky girl! They're beautiful! I just love those old fabrics. No matter how many times they try to imitate them, they can't replicate the memories they evoke.

So calling all friends...where do you find a friend like that? What an amazing gift for a quilter...and with your talents a future treasure! Congratulations Jodi!
WOW! I made TWO of these quilts when I was in my teens but in recent years gave them away!!! I love it that you have these and hope mine are still being loved!
I have made yo-yo's for many years and used them on different things but never a quilt. That is way too many of them. Enjoy the ones you now have.
WOW, you lucky lady! Enjoy them!
Oh my lordy!!! That is so super cool!
I have a yo-yo quilt top that needs repair and backing. My Great Grandmother's housekeeper made it. I also have her box of scraps and unfinished yo-yos with her thin cardboard pattern.
I understand the joy you feel.
Lipmans. What a treasure. When I was a girl it was Pomeroy's in my neck of the woods. I would love to find a Pomeroy's box with such a treasure inside.
Those Yo Yo's are just awesome!
Smiles, Cyndi
