I must have "lost" that page in the rule book -- oops, I think I misplaced the whole book (LOL). I think that whatever you do, in all aspects of the project, is fine. That's what makes your work special. Just my penny's worth (don't have 2 cents today)!

The only thing I can add is that in classes I have been reminded is if you start one way it is pleasing to the eye to continue that way. Meaning if you are adding more borders stick to the same pattern.

Hey nobody told me that was a "RULE" --Am I the last to be told about this ? :lol: My Pops says Rules can be revised- bent-twisted and even broken but once it becomes a LAW you have to follow it.So for now we have nothing to worry about :-) :-)
