What’s the Front? What’s the Back?

Next up? Judy Larson chose green for her piece. More success! This warp is working.
Skillbragd weavings can look equally beguiling from either side. On our Scandinavian Weavers Study Group project, the deep red and green of skillbragd floats on the two pieces are wonderful, and I would definitely use the side I saw while weaving as the “front.”
I took a new look at a small piece I own that was woven by Lila Nelson. Interesting! She used the side that shows the most of the ground tabby as the right side, and that is very clear by looking at how she hemmed it. The other interesting thing is that she made fringe on either edge as wove the piece, hemmed it, and then added fringe to the other two sides. That looks nice.
Good ideas for future pieces!
