It needs eight more "blocks". 512 more yoyos. 8.88 yds of fabric. I will try to make 250 yoyos this month. Ken brought my 5" charm box with him, I will work from it. But the last "round" on each block uses more than 1/2 yd of one fabric. 2,880 yoyos total. Each yoyo is handled a minimum of 4x, once to make the yoyo, and all yoyos are stitched to the next yoyo on three, or most of them four sides. I'm not tired of it, I enjoy the mindless stitching. The plan is to set it on point. It's very sturdy, the yoyos are more square than round, lots of hand stitching holding them together. I'm linking to Elm Street Quilts OMG.
Do you draw diagrams when making a quilt? I do!

I'm a kinesthetic!
Oh - that will be stunning!! Wow!! I used to be pretty solid Reading/Writing learner. But as an older adult I've become more of a Visual learner. This was part of the interesting challenge of being a teacher - reaching all of those types of learners with each lesson.
I'm a visual learner, with reading and writing coming close behind in a supporting role. That should come as no surprise to you!
Love the campsite! Do you have a cactus growing on the right side of the line of plants?
