One of our peers here gave me a great idea regarding quilting it. Do the two sides separately; thin batting backed with bridal toile and then sandwich the front and back together after they are quilted separately.
I haven't done it yet, but I'm ready to go.
I like this idea. The only issue I can think of is it would form a sort of bag in the middle if the front and back are only secured to each other around the edges. Maybe a few discrete tacks here and there to tie things together?
It's certainly something to think about. Both sides could be completely independent designs other than the binding that way.
Do you know anyone who has actually done this?
Auntpiggylpn: I love the last two quilt backs you posted.
