Sometimes you cannot tell which side is the top. I am glad you are using those decorative stitches. It will be OK!

Perfect save.... who's to know but that you, in your creative way, didn't plan it!

Oh my, I did that once too. I put a label between two sections of fabric forming a strip and then hand stitched this strip over the seam. No one was the wiser and it looked like it was intentional.

I think your plan is brilliant! When I lived in Hawaii the style was to make Hawaiian shirts using the bright prints wrong side out, to tone them down. So who's to say you aren't starting a trend?

Besides, you paid for both sides of that fabric, you should USE both/either side!!:)
It sounds like you've come up with a wonderful solution to your "design opportunity.:thumbup:

I really like that quote, "Remember a crisis is just a design opportunity!" Definitely one to keep in mind for a future crisis.

My mother passed down a saying to me that was given her: " You just say, 'that's the way I wanted it'" LOL
I've used that a LOT.
