This is the way I did my Sun Bonnet Sue baby quilt only I didn't use interfacing, I used a lightweight fabric. Then I blanket stitched around it to attach to the block. It wasn't stiff and it has held up well. My granddaughter is about to be 3 and she uses it all the time, winter and summer so it has been washed and dried in the dryer tons of times.

Love doing them this way, they have a bit of raised applique look.sorry I don't have better pics. these are now gone.
