Quilting from the back also gives you a chance to experiment with different weights of thread in your bobbin to show up better on the top. Laura Heine does this often. Her book Color Fushion has some projects that advocate quilting from back. You are going to like the results. I know, marking can be such a bother with the beautiful fabrics that are out there. Have fun and let us see what you came up with.

I use a large print on the back and follow the design. It work great and I do not have to mark the quilt.

You sure can. I have seen people use large floral prints on the back of their quilts and then "quilt" the flowers - the front then has nicely quilted flowers on it.

I did that on a quilt I did for my DD FF. It turned out fine.
