I don't have a big frame now but I always did that too, when I had my large frame. Now, I just flip it over and look at the back every time I move my PVC hoop.. It's hard for me to put a print on the back of any quilts because you can't see the quilting as well. I use muslin or very plain fabric for my backs because I enjoy the backs as much as the front. I'm a hand quilter and I agree it's very relaxing and I love doing it. I don't know if I could hand it over to someone else to quilt, their my babies.
