A Garden Path

My yo-yo quilt obsession has taken a new turn. I got 900 of the little buggers done and then decided that I would like a more structured, less random pattern as I sewed them together. I looked through some quilting sites and decided that yo-yo's would lend themselves pretty nicely to a "garden path" design.

I really like it, but it only requires about 710 colored yo-yo's and I have 900 done!!! Worse than that, it requires 450 black ones and I don't have any!

Oh well. . .I planned on this quilt taking until my retirement. It probably will.

Here's two days progress:
