Quilt in a Day Forums

Has anyone ever used the printed quilt design quilt tops for a backing? I have a double wedding ring piece of fabric that I was going to use as a top but changed my mind. Now I wonder what it would look like as a backing for another top. Would that be totally ugly? If the theme of the top is way off from the wedding ring ...would that matter? See I told you it was stupid questions! LOL! ~Abbigail~

Not a stupid question. Sounds like a good idea to me. Can't be ugly, you would only see one side at a time.

There are NO stupid questions here! Someone else may be wondering the same thing, but afraid to ask.

I think it's a splended idea.

Hi, if it's 100% cotton, go for it! It would be like reversible ) Many of the cheater tops are NOT 100% cotton, so be sure to test it. If it is, DWR will be a great backing! Amie )

Abbigail, I am the Queen of stupid questions, and this is not one of them!
I think it would be a great idea. Like Amie said, a reversible quilt!

Sounds like a grand idea!! How about if you quilted it from the back? I have seen some of the quilting when you use the print on the backing for the design. Stunning!

Wow Sharon! I'd never thought of that! That does sound pretty cool! Thanks everyone. ~Abbigail~

No question is a stupid question. Anyway, I will buy these types of wide patterns to keep on hand.just for that reason.
