I made a quilt (several years ago) that was pieced squares on the front, and a pictorial print on the back. The back was so nice, it was as pretty as the front. I took it to my LAQ, and asked her how to quilt front, but not have stitching run throughout the faces of the fabric on the back. She suggested that she quilt it from the back, and we agreed on it. It came out wonderful! I'd have it quilted to compliment the "clothesline" side & let the back take care of itself. Best wishes!

I'm all for meandering
I love to write little messages in the meander and I would love to do that for Jessica's baby. I'm glad someone supports the idea. My sister, who is more like the quilt police, made one of those famous guttural sounds when I mentioned I might do a meander ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)

I did one that was two sided several years ago. I used thin batting and bridal toole for one side and quilted that, then did the same for the backside. joined them together with quilting where it would fit and not "clash" on the other side. Then I bound them as one. It won a ribbon at the fair, was then given to a long awaited baby and is now waiting for his son. Still together and the quilting is holding.

I would do a meander, or a crosshatch. I got the brilliant idea to do a reversible for my great-nephew an then, in a moment of insanity, decided to do echo quilting around the figures. Sure that looked great on the front side, but it didn't match the figures on the reverse. If I had it to do over I would have done a meander or a crosshatch as it would have worked for both sides. You are going to have one super cute quilt whatever you decide. Good luck and quilting hugs to you.

I made a quilt out of two different fabric panels for my grandson. One side was Spiderman, the other side was a Cars character. I quilted each side independently. Each panel was quilted with just the backing, then they were put together and bound. It turned out really cute.
