Also, I guess as far as quilting (another first!!), it will be SID, though that is where the most material/layers are!! Very bulky because my fabrics are all knits that have fusible interfacing and have been sewn to a muslin foundation. Any tips here??

Thanks to everyone who has helped and encouraged me so far!! The end is in sight!
Instead of doing SID, maybe stitch a 1/4" to the sides of the seams? Might be a little bit more work but you wouldn't have to deal with the bulk in the seams.
