What sort of fabric are you going to use for the large expanse of the top? I would be concerned at the amount of creasing there may be - quilting does eliminate the need for that iron once it's made!
Can you iron the batting if the top gets creased?
I was planning on silk dupioni for the top, or maybe satin, if I can find a pretty silver (not grey) in the right width. I don't know if the batting can be ironed, actually, I'm not even sure the fabric can.
