This is a quick follow up to my post from earlier this week: In Progress: Ohio.
My new recycled silk garment scrap piece is done and ready to go to Betty Anne Guadalupe to work her art quilting magic. It measures approximately 24″ x 14″.
I have not decide if I want the piece to orientate this way:
Or this way:
I welcome any thoughts and comments you have on the orientation – thanks!
I vote for vertical.

I like the vertical. It seems to me more like a piece to hang. For some reason as horizontal it makes me think more of a placemat. I know that makes no since but that was my gut reaction. I really like it, like the end squares in the borders. I truly love the process that got you to this fine ending.

I like the horizontal. The isolated blocks in the border get more attention in the horizontal, and I like them and think they deserve the attention. And the colors in the square blocks seem more balanced when looking at the horizontal version.

Vertical. The pieces of taupe/brown fabric on the two ends add visual weight to the composition.
