Primitive Pines Yo-Yo Afghan & Christmas Tree Skirt

(For general yo-yo instructions, click here.)
This is a join-as-you-go afghan & tree skirt...a little different from the usual yo-yo project. The yo-yo's are not made in advance. After crocheting each yo-yo, do not finish off...instead, continue using the same yarn to edge and join each yo-yo, working according to the graph.
Yarn: Worsted weight acrylic
I'm not real sure about the amounts yet, as this afghan is in progress. I'm guesstimating about 32 - 40 ounces of a buff color, 24 ounces of dark green, 16 ounces of burgundy and 4 ounces of brown for the afghan.
Hook: Size I
Finished size: As graphed, afghan - about 50" wide x 75" long; tree skirt - about 48" diameter at widest points
Number of yo-yo's used: (Do not make yo-yo's in advance) Afghan - 718 (442 buff, 160 green, 100 burgundy, 16 brown) Tree skirt - 390 (210 buff, 60 green, 114 burgundy, 6 brown.)
Joining method: For afghan, flat braid method in rows. (click here) For tree skirt, flat braid worked in hexagon, (click here) omitting the center 7 yo-yo's and leaving unjoined at the blue line on the chart.
Edging: Using size J hook and main color, work 2 sc in each unjoined ch-3 sp around the outside of the afghan.
