I have done that before and I think if you want to use the back side as the front, then do it. It will make your quilt different and beautiful.

I am sure that I have inadvertantly used the back on some things. Use it if that is what looks the best to you!

When I took it up to be cut I opened it up from the bolt and the backside of it was the white on white and I loved it but it is THE BACK SIDE of the material! My question is would it be wrong to use the back side as the front? I really like it so much better that the front. I really need help on this.

I pay for both sides, I use both sides.... Learned this on a TV quilt show once. Some fabrics you can't tell front from back once cut, so if it looks good... I use either side.

If you can't tell the difference or if you like it better...go for it!

There is no wrong. I've used the back of fabrics many times. No one needs to know unless you tell them. Post a pic when you're done!

You paid for both sides. You can use both sides.

Tadpole, the fabric is yours, you paid for it, use it any way you want to. The only rule in quilting is...if you like the results, it works.

I use the backside often. The difference between the front and back sometimes works for the dark and medium or even the light in some patterns.
