Don't you love pillows? Heaps of them! And you can make just one quilt block and make a pillow and done.. House of A La Mode loves them too. Just a piles of beautiful colors too. And here are the tutorials for some of them and other things too. These pillows remind me to just let loose with the color and fabrics. This past weekend I saw Sue let loose with her scraps and make string quilt blocks that just blew me away and all the patterns and colors just went together. Lesson learned.
Pitter Putter Stitch has a tutorial for a lovely and different Dresden Plate. I love this very versatile pattern. She also has some nice blocks here. There is a wonderful review of all her 2013 quilts on her blog and I think you'll enjoy it.
Sew Take A Hike has a great way of making continuous prairie points. Prairie points are seriously wonderful. Here is an idea to take one of your photos and make a quilt block or a whole quilt if you get wild. And she did a wonderful sailboat quilt for Moda Bakeshop here. It's really sweet. Diana

Yo-Yo
Who doesn't like those fluffy little circles of fabric we call yo-yos? They inspire us to make entire quilts of them or to just add a few(or many) to embellish a quilt or a jacket.
Sew Take A Hike has a nice two part tutorial on the yo-yo. She shows how to use the Clover yo-yo maker. Part Two show how to sew them together with a sewing machine. I liked that idea as it can become tedious to sew them all together by hand.
Wild Flowers has a photo of a lovely white quilt with yo-yos attached to the top. This is such a sweet and clean look. Isn't this bedwarmer sweet? It is from Annie's E Patterns. And you don't have to make thousands of them to make something nice. I think everyone has seen this photo of Amy Butler's Bloom Quilt but I had to put it in this post. It is just too yo-yo like to leave out.
Angry Chicken posted an over the top quilt from a Japanese magazine. What a combination this is. This pillow from MadMin is so pretty too. Just scroll down a bit and look for that pillow. Hope you enjoyed these creative uses of yo-yos and have a nice sewing day. Diana
