Being a sewer prior to being a quilter I have used lots of eylet. In order to use eylet for a quilt, you
need to line it with something lightweight that will show through the holes and cover the batting. I would
spray baste with 505 or something like that the eylet and lightweight liner fabric and then cut and sew as if there
were only one layer. It should not be more trouble if you treat it as I piece. Should be beautiful.
