Having yourself committed....now I can relate to that. Thanks for the chuckle.

I've made reversible quilts but learned early on to not use a distinct pattern on the back as it's very hard to get them to stay lined up perfectly when quilting - especially FMQ.

I have two quilts I made revisable. I DID NOT quilt them together. I did not put a backing on either of the quilts when I quilted them. After quilting them I put them together. They are of course not quilts you sleep under but are used to make my beds look nice.

I have done a couple reversible lap quilts that had to line up. If you take your time in sandwiching and spray baste them, it is very doable. I would say go for it. One can be seen here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t236711.html

I made an eye spy nine patch quilt for my grandson and over did it. I did not want to give up any of the blocks, so I make two tops and put them together with batting in the middle. I tried to make everything match up, but clearly I need to work on my 1/4 inch. It isn't perfect, but he loves it and you can tell it was made with more love than skill.

I made a reversible quilt for my daughter. I quilted it to coordinate with what I felt was the front. I considered the outlined flowers from that side a design extra for the back. The quilts were totally different patterns so there was nothing to line up. The 'back' was a little small so the little strip to widen it was another design extra. The double seams were no problem, either to quilt or in weight. [ATTACH=CONFIG]548768[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548769[/ATTACH]

Plan on your quilting being on a more minimal side, not a tight allover pattern and you should be ok. Also, take into consideration the finished weight and thickness when choosing your batting.

The seams if they correspond on both sides make quilting very difficult and my long armer friend hates them as she breaks needles going over these lumps.
Also you make the quilting fit one side and it looks off and unprofessional on the other.
You would be better making two quilts and changing them when one is washed.

Georgia Bonesteel has been making double sided quilts forever, and she teaches her method very simply. Give her a try on YouTube?
