I've done it with wall hangings where I want to do a lot of thread painting and don't want all the mess on the back - plus then I don't have to bury all the ends - just pull them through to the back and knot them. Like Lace says, you have to do a minimum to hold the backing on at the end though, so just plan that in your quilting design.

i have quilted a top- to it's batting- then added a back (birthing style) and just tacked the backing in key spots.
it was a special request from someone who did not want quilting on the back- it turned out ok

yes, i do that sometimes.
i'm fairly confident about my piecing skills, but my quilting often stinks out loud. by adding the back after i've quilted the top i can hide a multitude of gafarbles. :lol:
