Use both sides of your fabric....you paid for both sides!!

you know, that's funny--i have been "eyeing up" the Wrong sides of some of the fabrics & i find some are quite interesting on the wrong side but i don't know why i can't bring myself to use the WRONG side--i guess i need to LET GO!
one of the last tops i made had a chocolate colored background & i could tell the difference between the right/wrong side & i still see it when i look at it--there's a shine to some pieces! some are/some aren't!!! i can't win!
