Through axle and quick release question

I know they make a conversion kit to take through axle wheels and convert them to be used as quick release but do they make anything to put a quick release wheel into a through axle fork? I have a 12 mm through axle fork in front found a very good deal on a set of wheels but they are QR. Id like a backup set of wheels so i dont have to swap over tires every time i want to switch the type of riding i do.
