Block Pattern Yo-Yo Quilt
101 x 84 inches. A handmade yo-yo quilt, also known as a Suffolk puff quilt, constructed from hundreds of individual circular fabric puffs. The quilt is composed of various multicolored printed cotton scraps, including floral, geometric, plaid, and novelty patterns. These colorful yo-yos are organized into rectangular blocks, separated and bordered by rows of solid white cotton fabric yo-yos. The piece features a full-surface backing of a solid white cotton sheet, which is secured along the edges. The construction is entirely hand-stitched, with each puff gathered at the center and joined to adjacent units to form a three-dimensional grid. The variety of textile prints indicates the use of mid-20th-century scrap materials, including feed sack fabrics. No maker labels, signatures, or marks are visible on the textile or the backing.
