This 1930s Yo-Yo Quilt is made of thousands of tiny gathered circles, each individually hand-stitched from vintage cotton prints—florals, polka dots, stripes, and cheerful novelty patterns.
Unlike traditional quilts, Yo-Yo quilts have no batting or backing, therefore this quilt has a lightweight, drapey quality that makes it versatile and visually striking. The quilt is finished with bedpost cut-out corners, a practical detail that allows it to fit neatly over the end of poster beds.
CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent vintage condition and is sturdy with no issues noted.
