That's good, two reasonably positive responses, so I'm not off the wall with the idea then. The only downside I can think off is that not all the quilting will show on the back, only the quilt in the ditch, so it won't look so traditional from that point of view. I think I might mock up one or two squares and try the idea. I have been counting up tonight, I only have 68 blocks left to do, BUT I still don't have one complete row done, in either direction.
