Truthfully, I have never done it. But, I think it would be a perfect companion to the front. Right?

I made a wall hanging of a puppy at the beach. The beach sand, and the doggie bones are the same fabric reversed. I had a load of fun with this.

Yes I do and like the results. It is also a good way to use up fabric.

Yes I use the backside of fabrics, no reason not to.

I do too... it is a great way to get a softer look or a muted color... rather than what the right side of fabric offers.

I find that many times the back of the fabric is nicer than the front. Love this idea.

We pay for both sides of the fabric, so yes I do!

Think of it this way. Using either side can double the range of your stash options!
