The other side would use leftover pieces in the same colorway but be more "modern" looking with minimal quilting. The only way I can think of for doing this is to quilt each side onto its own batting and then put the battings together somehow -- maybe using fusible web or tacking them together unobtrusively so they won't shift. But, I'm concerned that 2 battings would make this too thick and the result too heavy since this would wind up as a generous twin size quilt.

Has anyone done something like this? How? Did it work? What batting did you use? etc.etc.


Thank you in advance for your ideas -- or for warning me off!
