When I turned the work over and saw the straight stitches that had formed on the back I liked them so much that I worked quite a number of lines on the back to be displayed on the front as 'Back to Front Corals'.
These are the stitches I added to my TAST sampler
A couple of years ago I made a small quilt, 50x50 cm for the Yokohama International Quilt Week's Miniature contest. It is a 'fake' crazy quilt, a pattern of irregular crazy pieces painted with crayon onto a single piece of fabric and then embroidered on the 'seams'. Some seams have the Coral treatment:

I love the coral stitch sampler, your patterns and colours have created somethinf beautiful.
I like your little sampler, coral stitch looks like a fun stitch to experiment. Wish I had the time to thread my needle and stitch something!
I like the way you have mounted your sample on a card with all the relivant information. Are you making a book of the stitches.
Back to front coral stitches - great idea. I like the journal. Do you have it in a binder or a bound book or...?

Your sumptuous surface sampler must be great. I like this page. Did you draw it yourself? Wonderful way to keep it and look it up. Your sampler of the coral stitch is very colourful and nice.
