Two sided quilt quilting
I am making a 2 sided quilting featuring some of the Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric. Panels on both sides but different sizes. Borders also different sizes. How should I quilt this? Background or SID or outline stitching on the front won't match the back. I've never done an overall pattern on my DM. Do I have to do that? Or just quilt the front the way I want it to look?

I would suggest an overall pattern such as a stipple or meandering. This way it won't have to match up both sides.
You could also do loops $ stars. Really any over all pattern you choose would look nice I'm sure.

Totally up to you but I think I would go with an all over pattern myself. A meander or cross hatching would both work well. If you could do a large meander, it would look like the caterpillar was crawling all around the quilt?

When I made a 2 sided quilt I quilted each side separately --- one side was a Spiderman panel, the other side a Cars panel. I used the panel and batting when quilting each panel -- then put them together and bound them after stitching just a few spots so the quilts didn't separate. It turned out really cute if I do say so myself! For some reason I didn't take a picture of it though!
