So, I am new to quilting, but would like to outline prints (flowers, animals etc.) by the free motion method, and add fill patterns in the background areas. So will the "pattern" (or lack thereof) of the sandwich backing simply mirror or echo the stitching that has been created on the front of the quilt even though there is no consistent pattern throughout? If this is the case, is this an acceptable fashion or look for the quilt backing? It seems a bit erratic - which is fine, but I'm just wondering if I'm missing something...
Thank you!
Thank you!

If you want the back to stand out or be less obvious on your quilt, since both sides of the quilt are the same, try changing thread colors on the back or the front. this will make a huge change for more contrast too.
