I don't think you have to quilt the whole thing to keep the layers together. I made a summer quilt and when the two fabrics were layered and done.....to the point that yours is......what I did was mark off 10 or 12 spots on the quilt and using my sewing machine and a matching thread, I just did a stitch-in-place 5 or 6 times (I used my quilting foot with the feed dogs down), then moved onto the next marked spot. It was just enough to hold the 2 layers....not enough to define a design.
