I really like this idea. I've not done double sided quilts, but do get quite carried away making my backs. I did do a pieced back that I just kept adding too. Also, I bought a piece of wide back for two quilts and when I split it it wasn't big enough for the one - measurements! So I took two fabrics that were the same color combo, different type pattern and attached in the middle and it looked great.

My dear jane was double sided and I hand quilted it.
Quit worrying and start creating.
Double sided quilts half the cost of sending a quilt out to be long armed
Halves the storage space required.
