Has anyone done a QAYG with fleece as batting/backing? How did you do the connecting of one block to another so it looked right?

On each block I'm doing SID on the main elements of the block. Then I've added the sashing to all sides of the first block, and three sides of the next block, done as you would do foundation piecing. I'm ready to join the unsashed side of the second block to the first block.

My question at this point is what do I do about covering this seam? My sashing on the front is 2-1/2" (before stitching, 2" finished). Do I use a strip the same width on the back or a more narrow one? Do I trim the fleece so it lies right on either side of the seam or do I create a hump at the seam? Is there a way to do it so no sashing is required on the back?

Thank you for any insight you can provide!
