A Garden of Yo-Yos (+ FREE patterns!)

Do you love yo-yos like we love yo-yos?  Here's an award-winning flower garden featuring yo-yos, crocheted flowers, and beaded embellishments.  Also scroll down for three FREE patterns for yo-yo projects!

Hello Garden, made and quilted by Ana Martinez.  

Winner of a Quilt Show Chair's Choice award at the 2026 Tucson Quilt Fiesta, Hello Garden is an original wall quilt by Ana Martinez. The piece was inspired by buttons, yo yos and crochet flower embellishments that resemble a field of flowers. Fused stems and ribbons were appliqued onto a machine pieced and quilted background with hand sewn buttons, beads and ribbons. The ombre patchwork is the perfect backdrop for the flowers!

Yo-yos are portable and scrap-friendly, and create a charming, textured look. There are even plastic yo-yo makers in different sizes that make it easy. Here are three FREE yo yo projects you might enjoy:
