May 27, 2019:
Finished border (2 rounds black with HDC).
Washing fabric, crocheted blanket in prep for crocheting together in coming days.

May 26, 2019:
Frogged the 3-1/2 rounds of border in red, white …. didn’t like it. So I restarted Border with black, HDC. Much better. Finished 1-1/4 rounds of the border.
