Well, in the end, it all turned out fine: a lovely eleven inches of fine!
Thank you Sue and Stephanie for the suggestion about keeping it consistent with one thread for the final row, especially Stephanie who felt that one thread around the motif would accentuate the shape of the heart. This plan was the solution to the colour challenge.
So, FINALLY
here it is,
in Leas's HDT, #70, diameter: 11":
It's lovely! Now you can relax - it's finished. You can go on to another project, while you sit back and ENJOY this beautiful piece of tatting.
