I finished up the shrug this past Sunday and posted the left over Bisque (59.9 grams) on Tuesday to the Ravelry user that had contacted me about it. I am very glad that I knit this at a tighter gauge than the pattern called for, or else it would have been really huge. I stopped working the flat stockinette section when I reached the end of the third skein of the Bisque instead of making it as long as the pattern called for. After casting off I picked up stitches around the opening and knit 8 rows of the cuff pattern, working decreases every row where the two sides meet (the corners) to just finish it off. That stockinette edge curled horribly and looked unfinished to me.
The blocking picture shows the edging on the opening, and you can see my decreases.
