I LOVE your 'name'; my heart started to pitter-patter when I saw it. This was the nickname I gave my son 39 years ago and he was Tadpole (even at school) until he was 6 or 7. After that, he became Tad and I still call him that. But every time I see the name Tadpole, I think of my darling son.

use whichever side you like-just rmember if you use the wrong side to consistantly use it that way!:) i once used tone on tone as a background for a scrap quilt that was applique and when i got it all done and was ready to put it on the frame i realized one of the blocks was on the wrong side! oh,well-as my mother would say-you're the only one who knows there's a mistake.i have shown that quilt a qillion times and no one has ever seen the mistake in it.
by the way,many quilter's choose to put a mistake in their quilts.the reasoning is that only god makes things that are perfect....;) just an old quilter.....

I do too, most of the time I don't see them until the quilt is all finished.

Do what you like! No one will know and if they do, so what? I have used the back before to get the impact that I wanted. I am sure it will be beautiful when it is done.

Use the back if you want. There is nothing that says you can't! I have used the backs of fabrics when they have given a more muted color that I liked better than the front.
