Pattern Correction to Cottontail Trail

Here I’ve made some mistakes in the step by step directions as I sew the green yo-yos on the quilt.

There are three different greens used for the yo-yos on the quilt. They appear in the yo-yo list as lime green, light green and medium green. ("Medium" indicates color-not size) 


Add one extra small light-green yo-yo to the list of required yo-yos.

In the step by step these corrections should be made:

Flowers on fence and trellis:

1.  Use the photo as a guide to sew 9 light pink and 7 light green extra-small yo-yos along the green vine on the trellis.

Bushes and eggs:

1. Use the photo as a guide to sew 3 large light green yo-yos, 2 large and 1 small lime green yo-yo in place along the bottom of the fence.

2. Use the photo to arrange 4 large and 8 small light green yo-yos, 2 large and 2 small medium green yo-yos, and 1 extra-small aqua blue, 1 extra-small orange, 1 extra-small pink, 1 extra-small blue and 2 extra-small purple yo-yos across the green background.  Overlap some of the green yo-yos and tuck the colored ones underneath them.

Window box flowers:

Use the photo as a guide to sew 8 extra-small bright pink, 5 extra-small light green and 3 extra-small lime green yo-yos as well as 2 small light green yo-yos in place on top of and cascading over the window boxes of the house.  Some of the yo-yos should overlap others.

Tree tops:

1.  Use the quilt photo as guide to sew 10 small light green and 11 small medium green yo-yos in place over the tree branches on the left side of the quilt.  Reserve three of the yo-yos to overlap the lattice border once it is completed.

2.   Sew 8 small light green and 12 small medium green yo-yos in place over the tree branches on the right.  Again, reserve three of the yo-yos to overlap the lattice border once it is completed.

And, one more correction as to the cloud placement:

Sun and clouds:

4.  Sew another cluster of 1 large and 3 small white yo-yos to the right of the sun. Then sew a cluster of 1 large and 2 small white yo-yos to the right of the kite.
