Opinion Please - Quilt back or Quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
I need some opinions. The first picture is the quilt top I made for my neighbor's GS. I am now getting around to making the backing for it. The second pic is all the extra fabric and all the scraps from this quilt. I was going to use it for the backing but now I'm thinking it may be better used as a quilt top that, when finished, could be donated to a charity. So quilt back or quilt?

Thanks to all who respond.

If it were mine, I'd certainly do a second quilt. Plain backs work for me. I guess the question should be------------how special do you want kiddo's quilt to be?

I would make a second quilt too and make 2 children happy. If you do use it as the backing the quilt would certainly be reversible.

​Both sides are cute so it is up to you.

I would use the left over scraps for another quilt or a pillow case for the gs. What ever you decide will be nice you have a good combinations of complimentary fabric. It is cute!

Love them both. Make it reversible and it will be two for one.

I'd make 2 quilts if it were me and keep the back solid.

I hardly ever make a solid back, so I would make it a reversible quilt. Both sides are very cute.

Very nice job on both of them. I would make 2 and keep the back solid.

my first thought was that the fabrics match the front so well, use it as a backing. but making 2 children happy is a good idea, too
