anyone know where I can find online the pattern and directions to make the yoyo's to make a yoyo quilt?

Answer 2

When in doubt about a quilt project, I always check Quilter's Cache first. The link below explains how to make yo-yo's and how to assemble them into a coverlet. (Technically it isn't a quilt because you don't layer it with batting and a backing and stitch it together.)
