Hope Valley Twister Finished

YES!!! I finished my quilt and do I ever love it. I decided to quilt 1/4 inch on each side of the diagonal seams in one direction only. Very minimal, for me, but I like it. I didn't have enough Hope Valley fabric left to bind it with so I used some Flea Market Fancy grey eyelet/sprouts. I love it! Did I already say that?  I don't usually wash wall hangings but figured I'd give it a go. The quilt isn't perfectly squared, it's a bit wobbly. I really wasn't as gentle with side background triangles as I should have been.

I'm going to hang it in my kitchen for now.  Just not sure which direction I like best. Stripey block in the top left or grey? What do you think?

    Looks great either way. Hey, how about horizontal? hehe Just trying to make your decision more difficult. :)

    This is super cute. Hope Valley is one of my most favorite lines of fabric ever.

    It's a lovely mini! And looks great in your kitchen. After turning my laptop upside down a couple of times, I vote for the stripey grey in the top left!

    Your Hope Valley wall hanging is so cute! I think it can hang either way. I bought a new cutting mat a couple weeks ago and it smells so bad, like rubber or plastic. Have you noticed that with yours?
