I'm going to throw a monkey wrench into the works and tell you that there is a 3rd option ... continue in a straight line. Either for the remainder of the quilt, or just for a while then throw some more curves in.
Just saying you don't have to limit yourself to only up OR down ... sometimes sideways is the right answer.
I don't have it, nor do I have a pic ... but I did one (a small wall hanging) that had a few up's and downs on the left side then I carried on straight across and had one final very sharp blip up at the right side end. I called it "sign of life" and gave it to a anesthesiologist friend.
