you pay for both sides of the fabric and there is nothing wrong with using both sides...equally...we have lots of quilts that the (back-side) worked better than the (considered right side) there is no right or wrong, just fabric with 2 sides. sometimes a fabric is just what you want but a little too bright, flip it over, it may be just the perfect muting. we never worry about which side is 'right' we just use the fabrics however we want to use them. sometimes as a 'newby' it is easy to get caught up in ... propriety.... relax.... there is no quilt police that are going to show up and tell you you used that fabric wrong...once it is put together and quilted no one can tell that a fabric is maybe flipped over...
