I'm one to make the back as fun as the front so my vote is use the extra fabric for the back.

It would make a lovely quilt backing I think. It would also make a lovely 2nd quilt. I would use it for the backing as I often get tired of the same fabric in a 2nd quilt and it makes the first all the nicer.

Make two quilts. I did the same thing. When I showed my husband the front and back, he said why don't you make two quilts. I did. One looks modern and the other traditional.

I love pieced backs! I think a lot of my recipients do as well. My vote is for the back.

I love the idea of a reversible quilt. Looks pretty even when baby is wrapped up.

I'm sure either way 1 or 2 kids will be happy! Really great looking!

What a sweet quilt! I would use the second for the backing, as originally intended. Kids tend to use both sides of quilts/blankets.

I'd make two and keep the backing plain. Beautiful work!

Did you pay for the fabric or did your neighbor? If she paid for it, you should use it as the backing. After all, it is her GS's quilt. If you paid for it, then it's yours to do as you wish.
