I've started a 3/4" hexie GFG and after taking a class from a well-known Aussie EPP quilter, I don't plan on any batting or quilting. I handled several of hers done his way to check things out. They each had a nice weight for a quilt and the two layers of fabric stuck together great even tho they had never been washed. So there's another idea to consider!! I will have put in a ton of time to get the EPP done so it doesn't bother me to not quilt it. I'm sure you will choose one that suits you in the end.
