You asked if you should just make two quilts instead of reversible and I lost my breath! It is so gorgeous reversible. Stunning. You have done an excellent job and I agree with not wanting it to look 'quilted' but a little bit of the look won't hurt. The invisible stitching or tieing are great ideas. Everyone on this board is so helpful.
Welcome to the Quiltingboard. I am glad you joined us. /Regards, Dorothy
