since its raw edge fusible you can probably get away with fusing it and quilting it at the end to tack the applique down

It looks almost like the appliqués are thread painted in place? I think in this case I would quilt the background of the piece but not where I planned to put the appliqués. Since it's a wallhanging, it wouldn't matter if the thread painting shows on the back. I think you would need the sandwich to prevent the appliqués from wrinkling with all that thread.

I would do the blue background then put on applique pieces, then add wadding/ batting with thin piece of muslin/ cheesecloth on back and. Quilt the flowers etc BUT NOT the sky.

now put on the back and quilt free motion in the blue don't touch inside of flowers but you could go just on the outside of the shape to make it pop up.

I would go with what the LQS has done especially if they have made a sample for the store. This is definitely NOT your Grandma's applique. Very pretty quilt. I have seen this company's designs before.

I'm not sure I'd rely on the LQS at all. I'd be more likely to contact the folks who designed it. (In my experience, the people at quilt shops with the strongest opinions are often not right.) Then, I'd make a little sample, using the method I thought was most likely to succeed.

hugs,
Charlotte

If you are doing raw edge or blanket stitch I would fuse the pieces to the background, sandwich and stitch down the applique and the quilting. When I do satin stitch, I stitch down the applique piece onto the background with a tear away stabilizer behind it then sandwich and quilt.
