Craftsy has a class with Elizabeth Hartman called Creative Quilt Backs. I believe it is free. Some of the quilt backs that she shows make the quilt just as interesting on the 'back' as the 'front'. Who decides which is the right way up!!

One of the best two-sided quilts is a sew and flip. I don't have a site for it but you could probably find one.

It isn't hard at all. I made a jelly roll quilt top (first one) and I had NFL material for a top. I put the quilt pieces together face to face then lay fleece on top and sew all around leaving an opening for you to turn right side out. Stitch the opening closed. I pressed all outside seams then tied it. You can also do sid. Make sure all is trimmed and corners are cut before turning and poke out your corners well before the final stitches. It is like making an envelope. I have only been quilting for about 3 years. Take some scrap material and make a sandwich. I used a 10X10 piece and made bigger stitches so I could take it apart easier. You will see it isn't hard. I had a piece of flannel that I added boarders to then smooth it out on another piece of flannel face to face. Pin in place,sew all around,trim and cut corners. Turn and finish sewing that small area you left open. I pressed well then pinned again and did stitch in the ditch all around. It came out so nice. Try it you will be surprised how easy it is. You can also go to Missouri Star Quilt and Jenny will show you how she makes a self binding baby blanket using flannel. That is cute also. I got a little mixed up with the corners so did it my way.

No one has yet suggested Betty Cotton. She has several books out. Her blocks are sewn together in highways, free ways, one way streets, sidewalks, and intersections. I've made several blocks with this method and a very large wall hanging. Completely reversible. My friend made one of the 50 state birds embroidered on the front squares. (7 by 7, and the 50th one was a pillow.) The back was just as pretty.

Make it a QAYG.... That way the back squares can be a different fabric from the front or can be the same. It will make a reversible quilt. Crafty has a class showing how it can be done.....had a friend who did one and it is beautiful.

I did one for my DH....tee shirt on the back and a ROLL TIDE on the front. Turned out really well.

Has anyone tried the "Cotton Theory Quilting" method? I just got the book and DVD. Looks really beautiful.

Have not tried a two sided quilt yet, but I do have some fun making the back a bit more interesting. I will use borders and cornerstones or stripes down the center. Just have fun with it

I am accidentally making a two-sided quilt... I bought the two panel version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and the two pieces are 20"x20" each, I think too large to both have on one side of a baby quilt. So I am trying to make one on each side with a tree branch and cocoon to join them. And some other stuff to round out the approx. 40" x 45" quilt. I am NOT good at geometry and am driving myself nuts trying to design this so it looks good on both sides. So far I think the caterpillar and butterfly panels need to be QAYG and then directly opposite (behind) each other. The HSTs and other stuff can be lined up well enough I think... I am concerned that the panels will be too thick even with the thinnest batting, but this is as far as my tiny brain can figure this out. And no, wine has not helped.
