Great advice. I was in the process of making my daughter a double sided quilt - one side Dresden Plate with hummingbirds embroidered in the middle, and the other side has embroidered hummingbirds, a few cardinals and calla lilies. She loved the second side and said she probably would never have the Dresden Plate showing. Also didn't care for the sashing color, so we went to the store and got a color she did like. Hence I am making two quilts, instead of one that's double-sided (LOL). Lesson learned, and now will ask my son what colors he wants and maybe pattern as well.
