I completed the quilting on the “Song of Williamsburg” remix. Here are some shots of the front of the wallhanging:
The cotton sateen fabric showcases a foil-embossed look:
The “Song of Williamsburg” Remix has yielded unexpected result, as some had told me that they actually like the back better than the front:
Honestly, I can’t decide which looks better – the front or the back. I like the “embossed” look of the front, but also like the better contrast of the back. So, for the first time in my quilting life, I am not going to attach a hanging sleeve or a label on the back (*gasp*) — just so that I can have a reversible wallhanging to go with the original Song of Williamsburg by the stairwell! Now, I am off to attaching the binding to finish this baby up for real!

Just out of curiosity — what is your vote? Front or Back?
I like the back best — the outline of the bird really is quite eye-catching. I like the front too and the embossed effect, but the back really is outstanding!
yikes, I think I like the back. I think to make a final decision though I’d have to see it in person. It’s beautiful on both sides and I think your smart to not put a label on this time…
haha… Sis, it doesnt matter which side, both sides can be displayed! :) it’s so very very beautifully done!!
I like the front best I think, but both are beautiful. I can’t imagine doing such beautiful work. Blessings, marlene
I tend to like a mono-coloured quilt (aren’t I boring?), so I’d say the back. Both are lovely though. Well done!
I’m with your sister. I like both. Looked at the front…. WOW. Looked at the back. WOW. Can’t make up my mind!
I think it’s amazing! I love both sides, I would alternate between them and enjoy sharing with all your family and friends, it’s beautiful!
Have an awesome Twosday!

Both sides are beautiful, but I think I like the back the best.
It is BEAUTIFUL! Great work!
Oh my! I have to pick a favorite? Both are absolutely gorgeous!

Both sides are beautiful since the stitching is so well done.
I would have to vote front, but I can’t believe it looks sooo beautiful front AND back!
