I try to make the back coordinate with the front. For some reason, I have a strong adversion to having a beautifully pieced front, and then seeing a back that is obviously just leftover fabric from other projects put together on it. Especially on lap or wheelchair quilts where either side could be seen at any given time. (no problem if it'll be on a bed) It just makes me squirm. :lol: :lol:
Here's a picture of the front of a quilt I made, and a picture of the center of the back. The weird object in the corner is actually supposed to be a sheep, since the soldier this was for is a member of the Blacksheep Squadron and had lost a leg in Iraq. Making a sheep was HARD! My first attempts looked like buffalos instead of sheep. And, I had to do them because I accidentally cut a nick in the back after piecing the borders on it. So, yep, it's a boo-boo fix in sheep's clothing. :lol:

Front of quilt. I didn't quilt it. I had friends with a long-arm who did it for me since it was for a wounded soldier.
