I don't make any, just put some blocks on the back. It is not easy trying to line both sides up.

Backing Up Your Quilt
 

Every quilt I make is reversible. I make sure that the backing on each quilt that I create is pretty enough to flip that over. Some of them are hand quilted, some are machine quilted, some are sent out to the long arm quilter. I use fabrics that compliment the front. Here are just a few, quilted differently. I have been quilting since January 01, 2011 when I retired.

Many thanks to everyone for your replies. LOVE the quilting pics posted too! :)

I consider all my quilts to be reversible. I take as much care choosing the backing fabric as I do the front, and make sure the binding will work with the backing as well as the front. To me this allows for a multicolor pieced front, and a single color/pattern for back. I like that one is more busy, and the other more calm.

This is really a good book to use in my opinion. I have made a few using her method. You might look at my quilts I made using her book. "Buffalo Quilt", "Twin Solitudes" and "Hope's Rose Garden"they are on the board under quilts. The last one I made was "Hope's Rose Garden". The Buffalo quilt and Hope's Rose Garden wer both king size and Twin Solitudes was a queen. I would recommend her book. They are not hard at all. If you purchase the book and have any questions p.m. me and I will help all I can. The joining strips or sashing whatever you want to call them, are not at all hard and you are just butting the two blocks together when you do these strips, and folding the top strip over to sew it down. The bottom strip connects the two blocks. When you are finished with each block the quilting is done. You can do this with strips on each side making a scrappy quilt or use solid blocks like I did.

I am in the process of making a queen sized, 2 sided quilt. One side has pieced round, log cabins (can't describe them any other way), and the other side is 6" blocks. I have found that because of all the seams on both front and back, it is VERY heavy! Not sure how I am going to quilt it yet. I made the quilt 2 sided in order to use up some more of my fabrics.

I made a table runner. I did a bargello design with Xmas fabric on the front and then the backing was a DP9 patch. You have to make your backing quilt a little bit bigger. The quilt also may be is a bit more bulky because you are going thru twice the number of seams than normal. Make sure you have a very sharp new needle when you start quilting. Good Luck !!!

I made one with a quilt as you go sort of technique. On side one, I made a bright block with a white BG. For the opposite side I made the nearly identical block with a black background.
