Start Middle End

 I've been working on a piece called Shenzhen Skies, the edges were very irregular once I'd gotten all the quilting done. There were pieces sticking off the edge, and batting showing in some places, very chaotic around the edges, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep that chaos in the piece or not.

So I started turning the edges over without first squaring the piece up, just to see if the irregularity would be enough chaos. Here's how it looked after the top and right-hand edge were turned.
 And with all four edges turned. Ahh, so much better. I think I like it even more now, and am still considering the should I square it up or not issue.

I like the slightly irregular edges. The chaos in the top photo was too too much, but what you have as a final looks finished and intentional.
