Also, since you aren't going for a double homozygous like say a snow project you don't need to grow a 2nd generation female up - the original het pied female can produce a pastel piebald bred to the right double het male. It generally takes a lot longer to grow up females than males so planning a project that requires fewer female generations should speed things up.
