A labor of love and a testament to American resourcefulness, this original 1930s–40s yo-yo quilt is hand-stitched from hundreds of circular fabric "yo-yos," many made from Depression-era feedsack prints and salvaged dress cottons. Each puffed circle is sewn to the next with delicate precision, creating a patchwork of pattern, color, and history.
Lightweight and airy, the quilt features no batting or backing, typical of traditional yo-yo construction. It’s perfect for draping over a guest bed, hanging as textile art, or folding at the foot of a favorite chair. This piece is a tactile archive of textile history and heartfelt handiwork.
Measures approximately 5'5.5" x 6'4.5"
Vintage condition with light wear consistent with age
