Yes, yes, yes and yes.
For me, there is a whole lot of acceptance on a reversible quilt. Many of mine have been reversible. With what I have learned on the Quiltingboard I think I will be able to pin the sandwich better now. My blocks should be square now so they should line up better than on the previous quilts. I now know that stitch in the ditch is 'sewing beside the seam and not on the seam so I should be able to sidestep the bulk sections where the block corners meet. That is my plan of attack anyway. I may be daydreaming!

I like to make baby quilts reversible. That way if baby has an oopsie on one side, it can be turned over and a few more miles gotten out of it before it goes into the washer. I use a printed panel or a simple design on one side so I don't have bunches of seams. You could also use Sharon Pederson's method where you quilt while assembling each double sided block.

After reading this post I am going to try.

Let's all try it, makes sense to me, to have both sides with a cool pattern.

I try to use up the leftover pieces from the front of the quilt with some kind of piecing on the back. I seldom have a backing of just one fabric - even on lap or wall quilts.

Craftybear- wow- your read my mind!!!!!!! I'm doing one and have been agonizing over the backing and then thought maybe I could do another one for the back in a more wintry theme.
You are psychic!! :D:D:D
