Beautiful Border! :D

Dyeing acrylic yarn is a complicated process. Not easy like it would be dyeing wool.

This is the most beautiful final picture I've seen! I have not started mine yet... :? I've been working on an aphghan from Red Heart. After viewing the various layouts, I've decided to exchange 2 of my colors and I may opt for the multi-color motifs as you did. Again very beautiful results! If you decde to give this as a gift, I'm sure the recipient will be very pleased with the gift!

I used an alternate border as SC around is super boring

I like the multi-color motifs. Is that a shell border? And I agree with SC going around is boring to work but I've got time before I get that far. Enjoy seeing everyone's afghans. :P

I really love your colors and the border is great!! Looks much fancier then the single crotchet. I should have waited and got some ideas, but I went along with the single and it looks okay.
