I did this back on my first quilt - reversible. But I didn't do the great quilting like it shows in the website. Think it is a good idea and think I'll do something like that with a block swap I did using floral fabrics. My daughter quilted her blocks before assembling and they look great. I doubt it will be all the difficult and probably be really great when finished.

I took the class and while the benefit is a reversible FINISHED quilt, I just didn't like the look at all, at all, at all. I took a quilt-as-you-go workshop based on Sharon Pederson's book, "REVERSIBLE QUILTS," and I liked the finish much, much better. I got her other book, "MORE REVERSIBLE QUILTS" through interlibrary loan and found some great ideas there. She also has a DVD, "REVERSIBLE QUILTS DVD." It's a preference, to be sure.

I personally don't like the Cotton Theory Method I do however love making reversable quilts and there is another method much easier to me. A couple of years ago I bought a ruler at the Houston Quilt Festival that is even faster and simpler.

i do quilting with the quilt as you go method using sashings on front and back for a reversible quilt...they turn out quite nice and are quick to work once you get used to it.. what i like is it allows me to quilt each block individually as i like and in comfort at any sewing machine. the hard part is when putting together a quilt larger than 70 inches in width or length but it can be done. i have all of the cotton theory books and have put some of her techniques to use, but there are a few that i am just not crazy about.
