I have been wondering about quilting from the back of the quilt, because it is hard to see markings on the fabrick, and the back is the same kind of White On White that you described. I think now I am going to actually go ahead and try it. Thanks for the idea.!!! :wink:

That is called white on white. I am making a quilt with it now. On mine, it is difficult to tell which is the front and which is the back. I hope I'm getting them all right; but, if I stick a few backs and right sides both, I'm sure no one will even be able to tell.

You must be talking about the "Other" right side !!! Use it often. Just "re"-started on my applique blocks and discovered I am using the "other" right side---at the time I put the fabric together there must have been a reason. This way you have twice as much fabric :)

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 have made several quilts using the back side.
Sometimes I like it better than the front.
One quilt I use both front and back. It looked like two different fabrics.
Take a giant step out of that box. :-)
Then send us pics.
