Really and truly, I thought this would be finished before the last day of the month, and here we are, still the 29th in the U.S., but already March 1st in Australia, and there's a little more to do before my February TIF piece is resolved.
I'm learning how much I really do not like posting in-progress, and how much I prefer posting when finished. I love doing step-by-step tutorials, although I have yet to post one of mine, but a work in progress is something very different. It can change, while a tutorial knows exactly where it's going.
And this piece has changed. Several times. So here you are for now, a glimpse at some of the yo yos that will make up my little mixed-media quilt. There will be other things too, but for now, just a sneak peek at a few of the finished ones which include beads, images scanned and printed on fabric, buttons and trims, all hand-stitched.
Please be patient. . .there's more to come. Soon, I promise!
Oh please do show this in progress - keep going. Beautiful yo yos - I never had the patience to do them! This gives a whole new meaning to yo yos - wish my grandmother could see them!

I know what you mean, as I find it get in the way of the process. So this month, although I noted my process, I didn't write about until I had finished. I think I will do the same next month. It makes for a long post but it the end its worth it.

These yo yos are beautiful! I agree with you about blogging progress - I think I prefer to publish the finished article. I'll be doing this with TIF from now on...i always feel if i start one thing and it changes a'la my january challenge I have failed a bit.

Wow! I can't wait to see the finished product!! Love yo-yos. My great-aunt had a beautiful yo yo quilt, and I saw one on Etsy last night, but it was $550!!

the sneak peek is very intriguing - looking forward to seeing more. I like seeing how people's ideas change as they go along, but it does make for a lot more blog reading than I can fit in! I'm guessing many of us will settle down to blogging TIF once or twice only, either just when we finish or maybe first thoughts as well. i am spinning out this comment while I enjoy listening to that lovely arrangement of the blackbird in the dead of night song!
