I agree with some others comments I read: the backer does not fit the front.
Both deserve individual attention!

Lovely work Deb - isn't it great when you turn an 'problem' into a 'design opportunity'

I would (and have) backed quilts with pieced backs just like you've laid out. As one of the other posters said, you only see one side at a time! And there are some pretty nice books out there with 'reversible' quilts.

It's your quilt, you get to decide!

One of the things you'll need to be careful of if you do use this - and if you do stitch in the ditch (or other designs that follow the lines), you'll want to ensure the backing is lined up well with the front so the stitching looks like it belongs with both.

Be sure you let us know how you finish it up

That's my thought, too. Both of these are super quilts (that "TATW" is too yummy!) & just think... you'll have a 2-fer! Please post again when you decide what to do with these fabulous tops!

I guess this is where my weirdness shows through, but I love the idea of using these two beautiful pieces together.

I agree with most of the others you have two beautiful quilt tops and they both deserve a backing.

That is nice, put some features in it and make it a reversible quilt.

I would make another quilt from the backing & I love your trip around the world

Love the trip around town, don'qt think the second one would make a good back for it but would make another beautiful quilt

If you use the backing it would make the quilt reversible. You may however have trouble deciding on a binding that would work for both the front and back. I would quilt it with an all over pattern.

I think I would agree with it being two different quilts. Both are good scrape eaters but they are really, really different form one another.
