Since I've never made a CW, take this with a big grain of salt:

What I've read is you don't use batting or backing. You already have 4 layers of fabric, which should be thick enough for warmth. Somewhere, maybe here, I've read you can sew your "glass" (print fabric) to a slightly smaller piece of batting or fleece if you want extra warmth or if you want to add a slightly poofy dimension.

As far as adding a border to each 4 piece, it would add color but I think it would take something away from the beauty of the individual panes. That's strictly my opinion. If you decide to do that, please post a picture. I would love to see one done that way.
