In the early 2000s, there was a movement of "quilt from the back." I loved it. You would pick a busy backing. For example, I made a quilt in fall colors and picked a backing print with all kinds of leaves. Then, as a beginning quilter at that time, I picked a few leaves that repeated a lot, and added free motioned around them as you did your daisies. It made a real pretty design on the front and I didn't have to be exact as I copied the leaf shapes and curved a line from one to the next. Thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely! And it can be traced onto pattern paper then pinned onto the quilt front or back and sewn right through & just torn away afterwards (I have a roll of thin doctor’s office exam table paper that’s the right weight and see-through-ness so would be perfect. Tissue paper would work too)!
Thank you for your suggestion of quilting on the back of the quilt. It was so “freeing” and I was able to quilt my daughters queen size quilt without problems. The pattern on the front was so busy I felt like I couldn’t see where I was going or if the pattern was too busy. But doing the back I could concentrate on the pattern and knew right where I was all the time. It came out beautiful 😊.
What A Sweet Quilt, and that Gorgeous Stitching, normally hard to get the back to look as good as the front, but The Beautiful Bernina did a Fantastic job of a perfectly balanced stitch. Great Daisies and love how forgiving it was. 💕
I love this pattern! Easy enough for me. I only do easy patterns these days. Thanks for this tutorial. I made this one to show appreciation for military service.
I used this method for a lap quilt and it was a lot of fun and turned out looking similar to another quilt I had professionally quilted. I will definitely quilt from the back again! Thanks to Laura for giving a new way to confidently finish a quilt.
I have made like 6 quilts. nothing fancy, just trips. this technique encourages me more than you know. I have an old domestic machine. I think I might just might be able to pull this off. Thanks for the video.
Sandra Cedar the captions are available, Laura is really good about including them for her videos. If you are watching on an Android phone as I am, there's a gear ⚙️ icon, click on it. You'll get a drop down menu that offers captions. Hope this helps you. I don't have one but if you are on a laptop, look for the ⚙️ icon in or near the description area, below the video.
I don’t know how I missed this video--I LOVE IT!!! Free motion has been a little intimidating to me so I usually stitch in the ditch or 1/4” edge stitching. I am definitely going to try this method . Thank you so much Laura-love all your videos 👍🏻👌
Thank you for this idea! I am president of a small friendly quilt group and am viewing your videos for great ideas. Sometimes, we watch your video during a meeting and have someone bring in a few displays that they made from your video. YES, you are our “go to” presenter. ❤
I've watched many videos about quilting, and this is the BEST idea I've seen yet! I struggle with FMQ because I'm not good at improvising, and stencils are helpful but tedious to use. This seems SO much easier, more fun, and a better result.
Such a lovely idea. Two suggestions that would work well. Cut out some large fabric flowers/shapes that are similar to the patterned fabric, applique onto plain back with the free motion to give a reversible quilt. Hand wrapping embroidery floss onto your bobbin and stitching will have an embroidered flower look(or straight line quilting) on the front of your quilt.
I love how you thought outside the box! It's absolutely perfect. Love the daisies. I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you so much
Nunca se me hubiera ocurrido acolchar por el revés. Hay que probar esta técnica. Gracias por compartir, por inspirarnos y por enseñarnos nuevas técnicas. Saludos desde Venezuela! 🤗
Brilliant idea, so well demonstrated and it turned out beautifully. You've given me the confidence to have a go so I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks.
I’m glad you said we could do it on a domestic machine. I really want to try this but I’m doing quilts for two little boys so I’ll have to do some thing different I don’t think they’d like daisies. Thank you so much
Wow! That is just awesome! I love this technique. 😀 ❤ Going to try this fore sure. very new to quilting and loving it! Thanks for sharing this with us!
I've been watching you for years. I think in this video you look amazing. Not sure if it's your hair style or the colour you are wearing but I wanted to tell you that whatever it is, it look fab for your age.
So cute! I occasionally send a special quilt out to be long-armed, but for economy reasons, I do most of mine on my domestic machine. This is a great idea and I'm going to try it.
That is SO very awesome! Beautiful quilt! I am getting ready to make a floral/farm animal baby girl quilt. I'm going to try to get brave enough to try this quilting method...and use the daisies!!
This is such a wonderful idea. Thank you for such a creative and innovative way to finish a quilt. My first thought after viewing this was, wow, I can do this. I love that your instructions are so easy to follow. As always, I look forward to your next video. Again, thank you.

“OK, let’s turn it over…”. Love your bravery! 😂
That is one humongous Bernina. Whew!
What an EASY TUTORIAL for quilting. Never thought of back quilting. THANK YOU
So cute and inspiring. Drawing can be intimidating for some people. A good resource for children’s quilts is. Coloring books!!!
Absolutely! And it can be traced onto pattern paper then pinned onto the quilt front or back and sewn right through & just torn away afterwards (I have a roll of thin doctor’s office exam table paper that’s the right weight and see-through-ness so would be perfect. Tissue paper would work too)!
Great idea, Laura! I haven’t tried anything but straight lines so far, quilting for 5 years only and age 85.
Very cute Laura! Good job🧡🧵
Both sides are adorable!! ❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I just love watching the quilting appear! Looks great!
Way to go Millie! We miss you today! Congratulations!
I was impressed how you just did those daisies without a care. I'm going to try this. Loved it.
I love your daisy quilting .
So cute his is.
Hi Lucille, how's your day going with you?
I would never have thought to put the backing on top. I love how this turned out.
Love this idea of quilting on the back. Great job I am definitely going to try it. Thank you
Hi Audrey, how's your day going with you?
I made musical notes on the back of a baby quilt for a musician. I drew it on blue flannel with chalk. After sewing I just brushed off the markings.
What A Sweet Quilt, and that Gorgeous Stitching, normally hard to get the back to look as good as the front, but The Beautiful Bernina did a Fantastic job of a perfectly balanced stitch. Great Daisies and love how forgiving it was. 💕
Hi Cindy, how's your day going with you?

Back when I was using my domestic machine (I now own a long-arm) I used a print for the backing and quilted it "upside down" by following the print.
Thanks you for sharing and demonstrating your quilting idea. Fabulous!

WOW! I am new at quilting and had thought it would be easier to mark the back to quilt the pattern, Thanks for the demo
Wonderful 👏 👏 👏 idea indeed🥰😍🤩
I love your quilt and your method! I would put a dehumidifier in that basement!!!
This would work with so many themed quilts. Spider webs, fall leaves, pumpkins, snowflakes, poinsettias, candy canes, stars.Thanks for great video
I love this idea. I prefer free motion quilting so I may try this. Thanks Laura
Hi Peg, how's your day going with you?
I think this is just perfect for my level, just past beginner!
I’m going to try it for sure!

I’m glad you said we could do it on a domestic machine. I really want to try this but I’m doing quilts for two little boys so I’ll have to do some thing different I don’t think they’d like daisies. Thank you so much
Stars give you lots of options.
Adorable and looks relaxing and fun. Awesome idea Laura, as always, how clever.
Thank you for doing this, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be giving it a try. I think it is less intimidating this way. Thank you again, I am excited.

Wow, I just love what you did. This really opens up an opportunity for me to try. I appreciate your videos so much... Thank you 🤗👍
I love this way of quilting my quilts
I love the idea of just following the drawing on the back though I've never seen it done before. Good on you for trying it.
Hi Pamela, how's your day going with you?
What a great idea! Just go for it and enjoy and not make it perfect. My kinda quilt.
Beautiful quilt, love the machine, I wish I had one. I love free motion quilting but you just can't get a queen in it. Just love your set up.
That is SO very awesome! Beautiful quilt! I am getting ready to make a floral/farm animal baby girl quilt. I'm going to try to get brave enough to try this quilting method...and use the daisies!!
This is wonderful! Thank you!
I love the results of your experiment. I love the surprise ❤ Beautiful and fun! Thanks Laura 😊
I’m going to give this a try. When trailing you can add a loop to fill in more if needed.
I just rewatched, this is a very good lesson on free form quilting, some great ideas…..thanks for sharing
Absolutely love this idea. Thankyou for a great tutorial 🇦🇺💖
This quilt is so very cute. Love your idea. Thank you.
