You'd need to attach it to the quilt--maybe stitch in the ditch would work if you want to machine quilt it. Otherwise, I'd baste the top and lining together thoroughly, then baste again to the batting and backing and then, finally, quilt it. My favorite choice would be Kona premium muslin--it's pretty light in weight--there are other choices, I'm sure. Now, let the more experienced folks weigh in.
This is good advice. Using, in essence, 4 layers to the quilt would probably take care of the shadowing that is there. I might choose a grey to do it, as white would tend to accentuate the shadows, and she states that black changes the overall cast of the quilt. But grey might do what is needed.
The layers would be top, neutral, batting and backing.
