    You pay for both sides of the fabric, of course you can use either side you want. I have used the back side of fabrics on several occasions, when I want a "not so quite bright" piece.

    You can use whatever side you want. I know sometimes the back is more what you want. Who is going to know except you. Go ahead.

    Only you will know--unless you tell. Go for it.

    We all need to repeat
    "I will not be afraid of the quilt police"

    I am guilty of the same thing! We questions our own likes and dislikes because of some "rule" we are afraid to break!

    "There are no rules!" Just beautiful quilts!

    I had BOM kits where you were instructed to use the reverse side of a piece of fabric.

    That's funny because I just finished a quilt I quilted from the back! I didn't want to admit it, but it worked great!
