When I took it up to be cut I opened it up from the bolt and the backside of it was the white on white and I loved it but it is THE BACK SIDE of the material! My question is would it be wrong to use the back side as the front? I really like it so much better that the front. I really need help on this.

I just use whatever side I like the best. Several times I've gotten home with a chunk of sale fabric that I bought because it was cheap and I could use it up. Then looked at the flip side, fell in love, and gone back for more LOL.
Have fun, there is no wrong side. Just what Michele says about the Quilt Police........

Tadpole,
I made a mostly plaid quilt and couldn't find a suitably
light plaid for my background. I ended up using the wrong
side of a red and white printed plaid and it works great and nobody knows unless I tell them. Here's the link to it.

I still have some of my late husband's shirts he got in
Hawaii, and he loved the ones that had been made
deliberately with the back side on top. And these weren't
cheap ones either!! Lovely, with gorgeous muted tones.
i'll get around to cutting into them some day. Still have
not found any like them in thrift stores or yard sales, or
even in regular stores. Probably have to go back to the
islands for more, if they even have them after about 35
years!
