Never mind, I thought, I will do a half red, half silver one. And it was looking good, though I wasn't sure if the red would last out either.
When I ran out of red I went back to using the last few grammes of silver grey with my fingers crossed it would last till the final row. Phew!
For the edge I opted to use emerald green, as I will be doing a round of green on each square before also joining them all into a coat with the green also.
And the end result was surprising to me. I had in mind the Japanese Wabi-sabi way of finding beauty in flaws as a way of accepting this square as a unique one amongst the rest. And it may well end up being my favourite square.
This is the square being blocked before all the ends are sewn in.
