it isn't a false backing. it's an extra backing.

where is it written that the front and back of a quilt must be quilted in exactly the same way? i have used this method more than once in more than one way. you end up with a very interesting quilt all the way around. (pun fully intended. :lol: )

you're a big girl and should do as you please. i just don't see a purpose in tearing yourself up over something the child who gets your quilt wouldn't care about even if she/he knew we did.

I do agree with Patrice. If you think about it, you might have planned to have a solid backing when you designed it. If you had designed it like that you wouldn't be giving it a second thought. I also like the idea of using the stitching as decoration if you can get by with it. You can see it and we can't. You will know what works best for you.

I really feel for you but if it's just a design issue like Shelley said, and the stitches are sound, I would probably leave it.

I can't talk though because I started quilting my vintage-look top and I thought it was so bad that I took it off the frame and I am using a razor knife to skin it off the backing.
