Is there a reason that I can't think of...

I was given a huge bolt of dark brown fabric with a tiny little white flower which to me looked dated and didn't "go" with anything. The back of the fabric was a lovely plain chocolately brown. I used the back side and it worked beautifully in my quilt of autumn colours and no one was the wiser!

Like everyone else said, you can use whatever side you want. BUT, just so there are not surprises later, I would make a sample, using the batting you are going to use and see if the print shows thru, before you do a lot of piecing, etc. I have found that some prints show up stronger depending on the batting behind them. (It especially makes a difference between natural W&N, and white W&N.) So although you do not see the print when looking at the backside, it might show up once everything is put together. It happened to a friend of mine, and she was very disappointed with the outcome, after all the work she had done. Hope it works out for you!
Happy New Year to all !!
