Do you make reversible quilts?

craftybear

I am working on a disappearing 9 patch and thinking of making 2 of them one for front and back.

Your thoughts?

I have made several Cotton Theory reversible quilts.

i usually put some type of back that has a design. usually with left over material from front and make big squares. i like to be able to use both sides and not have a bland back.

I make them using the "quilt as you go " technique. That way you can lay the blocks out as you like and put them together.

Made a couple table runners, and covers that are reversible.

Never but it makes sense to me to have them be reversible.

Reversible quilt as you go works great for table runners and such. That way you can even two different seasons at a time.

How do you manage the extra bulk where the seams are? (This wouldn't happen with QAYG). If the blocks don't line up with the blocks on the front, wouldn't there be seams everywhere? Thanks.

I always make reversible quilts, just seems to make sense to me, most backs have to be widened anyway and because I'm pretty much a scrappy, 9 patch, strip piecer, crazy quilter, pieced backs go with my quilts. Then I can flip them over and use both sides.
