I have a similar problem with the one I made for my GD for Christmas. The "right" side is an I Spy with 157 different blocks. She just turned 7. It is on her bed, but with the backing side up. I never asked why. But if I wanted her to have a solid colored quilt I would not have gone to all of the trouble to piece all of those blocks together, not to mention the time it took to select the fabrics and cut them. Oh well, at least they can't say I never made her a quilt.
