Soon you can call it a finish, retiredT... A maxim shared by a guild member was to go darker the further one goes out..maybe you can find a marble type fabric (or Grunge) that matches the dark fabric in the border and blocks, then use that as a binding. Thanks for sharing your timeline.
Tax appt is a thing of the past...now what...haha. Our accountant teased me about going down the street to "shop"...he knows me too well...bonus is it is one building closer as CPA moved into a larger building next door! And yes I stopped, but that's a story for another thread!
