I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine how you have chastised yourself over this. I love the reactions from our members regarding your back. I agree with all of them and maybe you will be able to think of your (hand-quilted masterpiece) as two separate quilts. Each with their own placement. I have not used a directional backing yet but have had seam lines that looked horribly wonky. Can not seem to get them centered and straight. Finally, had to accept my abilities and move forward. I commend all of you hand quilters. I believe it is amazing.

I'm with Cactus Stitchin - a Pollyanna looking for the bright side! Better that it was switched up vs down instead of right side in vs out 
I'm still somewhat new (under 2 years) to quilting and have made plenty of imperfect quilts but now I actually relish the uniqueness of my.. ahemm... special design choices

I told him that no one could see both sides at the same time. He laughed hysterically, but it paid off because after a month or so, I lost another and I had the handy replacements. Eventually they figured out and fixed the problem with the wheel.

I have to watch I don't sandwich with the wrong side of the backing on the outside. I have almost done that more than once or twice. That would be a worse mistake. So smile and be glad you at least have the backing right side out! And everyone is right---no one can see both sides at the same time, so that's acceptable! Wrong side out would be unacceptable. I think it's bound to happen to me one of these days....
