I have one other photo. I gave the projects away so I can't take another pix. I simply used a polyester batting. Placed it behind each animal, covered it with muslin and had stitched around each animal, then trimmed away excess. After all were done I simply sandwiched and quilted the whole project. I did meandering fairly densely around each animal to make the trupunto pop.. Hope that help. Quilter 1234
