It's Finished!

I'm going to try and take a better photo outside but for now, I HAVE FINISHED THE SUFFOLK PUFF/YOYO QUILT!

Yay me :-)

Finished!

Begun: Last week of April 2007

Finished: August 10th 2007

Fabrics: Mostly cotton oddments and offcuts from my projects, other people's offcuts and unused fabrics from the op shop and oddments and discarded fashion samples from the Reverse Garbage Creative Reuse Co-Op in Marrickville.

Details: 1,600 suffolk puffs made with the 45mm Clover Quick YoYo Maker - 40 puffs wide x 40 puffs high

Made as a wedding present for my brother & his fiancé for the 19th August 2007

Number of seasons of Farscape watched in order to retain sanity while sewing all the little puffs together: 2.5 (plus a season each of Torchwood, Dr Who, Battlestar Galactica and Stargate SG1)

Will I ever make such a large project in such a short time frame again? Hell no!

:-)

That looks amazing. Congrats on finishing it on time.

Now maybe you should go post a short "I'm alive" post on the glb-knit list because someone was wondering what happened to you.

Well done! Job well done! Looks great, bet you are sick of the sight of yoyo's now!

I have to admit that I was skeptical but it really does look amazing - what a journey it's been with a fabulous (on time) result!!

Wow, that is fantastic! Congratulations on finishing it! Can you make me one now? :)

Wow! That is an incredible and very lovely quilt in a prodigiously small amount of time! I hope your brother and his wife were suitably thrilled. :)
