How do you get the back of the quilt and the batting quilted then? As I assume you quilt the top rows before you sew them together. Am I right? Love your idea, as having someone quilt your quilts is getting so expensive.

Prong pins are almost essential for this as they slide easily into the sandwich and you don't have to lift the rows (sandwich package) to pin. After a row is sewn, I iron both the front and the back, and I iron the back one row ahead. That smooths out the back/batting combination and ensures no bunching on the back. Next time I make another one, I will post pictures if you all wish.
