What Is a Yo Yo Quilt?
Yo-yo quilts are made from round pieces of fabric with long stitches along their turned-under outer edges. Stitches are pulled to gather the circles into rosettes.
Individual yo-yos are typically hand sewn side by side into rows when they are used to make a quilt, but they also work nicely for 3-dimensional appliqué embellishments.
Yo-yo quilts were popular in the 1930s and 1940s, and there are many lovely examples sewn with fabrics from those eras. Some were structured, with the rosettes arranged to form a pattern, but many of the examples are scrap quilts.

How to Do Bias Binding Math
So how do you know how many yards of bias binding you’ll need for a quilt?
Get your calculators ready, because here is the simple equation!
Add up the length of all four sides of your quilt.
Add 18 to the total (this is to give you enough for mitered corners and joining up your ends).
Divide that total by 36 (because 36 inches in a yard) and then round up to the next whole number.
For example, if you have a throw quilt that is 50x50:
50+50+50+50 = 200
200 + 18 = 218
218 ÷ 36 = 6.1
So, rounding up, you would need 7 yards of binding to complete the quilt!
