Do you make reversible quilts?

I am working on a disappearing 9 patch and thinking of making 2 of them one for front and back.

Your thoughts?

I have made several Cotton Theory reversible quilts.

i usually put some type of back that has a design. usually with left over material from front and make big squares. i like to be able to use both sides and not have a bland back.

I make them using the "quilt as you go " technique. That way you can lay the blocks out as you like and put them together.

Made a couple table runners, and covers that are reversible.

Never but it makes sense to me to have them be reversible.

Reversible quilt as you go works great for table runners and such. That way you can even two different seasons at a time.

How do you manage the extra bulk where the seams are? (This wouldn't happen with QAYG). If the blocks don't line up with the blocks on the front, wouldn't there be seams everywhere? Thanks.

I always make reversible quilts, just seems to make sense to me, most backs have to be widened anyway and because I'm pretty much a scrappy, 9 patch, strip piecer, crazy quilter, pieced backs go with my quilts. Then I can flip them over and use both sides.

Yes, yes, yes and yes.
For me, there is a whole lot of acceptance on a reversible quilt. Many of mine have been reversible. With what I have learned on the Quiltingboard I think I will be able to pin the sandwich better now. My blocks should be square now so they should line up better than on the previous quilts. I now know that stitch in the ditch is 'sewing beside the seam and not on the seam so I should be able to sidestep the bulk sections where the block corners meet. That is my plan of attack anyway. I may be daydreaming!

I like to make baby quilts reversible. That way if baby has an oopsie on one side, it can be turned over and a few more miles gotten out of it before it goes into the washer. I use a printed panel or a simple design on one side so I don't have bunches of seams. You could also use Sharon Pederson's method where you quilt while assembling each double sided block.

After reading this post I am going to try.

Let's all try it, makes sense to me, to have both sides with a cool pattern.

I try to use up the leftover pieces from the front of the quilt with some kind of piecing on the back. I seldom have a backing of just one fabric - even on lap or wall quilts.

Craftybear- wow- your read my mind!!!!!!! I'm doing one and have been agonizing over the backing and then thought maybe I could do another one for the back in a more wintry theme.
You are psychic!! :D:D:D
