A Yo-Yo Quilt

Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm not the only American obsessed with winning this year's HGTV Dream Home. After watching the tv special last week I have become even more obsessed. I am especially fond of the guest room featuring a beautiful yo-yo quilt (not sure if this is what it's really called, but it's what I'm naming it). 

I do believe I've seen a quilt like this before somewhere in my grandmother's house (her house is a museum from the 50's/60's/70's) and always thought it was funky and kinda cool. Then a few weeks ago I was lurking about on other people's blogs and came across this on Heather Bailey's blog. Side note: her blog is freakin awesome. I actually made one of these out of some old scrap fabric and it was very easy. Although I'm sure making 500 of them for a quilt would be somewhat annoying. I might just be willing to try it though if I knew it would turn out as awesome as the one above. Ahh...now if I could only find the motivation...
