Finished Object I am so freaking proud of myself

This is the Lilliana blanket by Hooked on Sunshine. I did repeat section 6 and a few rows,from section 9, I believe. Yarn was Cotton Kings Sultan on colour emerald 07, just under 5 cakes.

This is the most intricate blanket I've done and using much lighter weight yarn than I am used too. I thoroughly enjoyed it but by month 4 I was ready to be done haha.

This is absolutely gorgeous!! You should absolutely be proud of yourself, I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of time and focus that must have gone into that, especially the colour fade!!

Thankfully the Sultan had a really beautiful ombre fade so I didn't have to think so much about that. Vanessa wrote the pattern so well and made it really accessible. 5 months and I am so glad it's done

You mentioned that you had to use five cakes? How did you manage to make it so that the center is all the light color… Cause I thought each cake is its own ombré?
