The Back is Prettier Than the Front!
 

Well, I started working on mounting this piece http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t215558.html this afternoon and just had to take a pic of the back before it gets covered up. I think I may have to do one on a light colored background next so the finished piece looks more like this...what do you think?

very nice quilt

Please explain how you did this beautiful work!

Why would you cover that up?

That's fascinating. There's no way I'd cover it up.

Fabulous:thumbup:

WOW, Beautiful. I love the work you did on it. I would NEVER hide the beautiful work you did. I also would love to know how you did this.

beautiful!!!!

Beautiful, please don't cover it up.

amazing! how long did it take you to quilt that?

Wow, what a wonderful artist you are!!!

I'm not sure how to answer your question; this piece is all FMQ'd. I worked from a photo of Ben, drew some guidelines on the fabric, and after a lot of drawing on paper to decide what to do where, I quilted the designs with poly thread.

Probably about 20 hours of actual quilting time and that much more of drawing and planning.

Holy cow. That looks fantastic.

I think it is terrific.

Oh I love it. Your work is beautiful. Don't cover the back.

My goodness that's gorgeous! thanks for sharing

I echo jingles and others comments- please do not cover this piece of art up!

Oh my word it's incredible. I agree with the others--why cover up that beautiful work.

wow! amazing!

AMAZING! I LOVE the back!

Oh my gosh, yes, the back is totally gorgeous. I would have a hard time not using it as the front. But I have seen the front and it is totally awesome.

Marvelous, this is amazing.

the back is just as pretty as the front is. So pretty!!!

Think it is beautiful!!

omgoodness, that is beautiful

Wow, that is awesome work.

Don't cover it up! How wonderful it is! Had to edit my comments as I found your link to the front -- what a stunning piece....but I have to admit, the back REALLY shows off your work. Gorgeous!

Beautiful work

The back is just as wonderful as the front

It is beautiful. Why would you want to ever cover it up?????

Fantastic, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

I think you're right! I love it!

Ben is a handsome fella! Your quilting is fantastic!

When I get a good one like this I mount it under two pieces of glass.(Or even two frames back to back) That way either side can be the 'front'. Also you can have screw eyes in the top of this sort of 'frame' which allows it to be hung from the ceiling as a little divider which allows both sides to be seen all the time. Why not enjoy all that gorgeous goodess? Love it.

I m not a big fan of lots and lots of quilting on a quilt... gets in the way of colors for me. This quilt isn't about colors, it's all about designs. This has got to be the most beautiful piece of quilt work I've ever seen! Wonderful job in all respects!

I don't have a picture of the back on this thread! Did I miss something?

Wow! Absolutely stunning!

This is the back. There's a link to the front in my first post.

What an ingenious idea Suzie! I have a specific request to mount this one as gallery wrap from Ben's owner, but I will sure keep that in mind for the next ones.
