Hey didn't you buy BOTH sides of the fabric? Use the one you like! :)

Hey, there are no set rules in quilting! A lot of times I use the back side a a piece of fabric, maybe because I just like it or because I need something that is not so stark, etc.

no you are not wrong using the back of any material I have often found some that the back looks better or just different than the front and I have used both sides, also this is just a design preference. hope this helps

I made a miniature double wedding ring quilt once and didnt know I had used the wrong side until I went to bind it. So I made another one using the right side. Both were wonderful and nobody knew but me

I was told this in one of my early quilt lessons! It is yours and you can do with it what you please!

I see nothing wrong in using "either" side.

It's your fabric. you can do what ever you want with it.

Many of the national quilt "experts" use the back of fabrics on a regular basis. And they are not afraid of the quilt police. The recurring theme on this board is "If you like, do it". (Sounds like the 60s)

Only one warning. be sure you used the same side throughout.
