Kuntryquilter, LOL, I bet you were at a loss for words when he said he turned it backwards so people would know who made it. He was really giving you quite a compliment.
I can see why some people like the whole cloth look of the back of the quilt. I like it too, but I do know the difference between the front and the back. As everyone else has said, your goal was to make them something they loved, and you did.
