I just went and looked at your pics. I took a class from June Colburn many years ago that used a fabric collage technique. The way she did it was to take the pieces and fuse them down along the edges with steam a seam and then use invisible thread in a small zig zag to secure it. Its much more *blendy* than satin stitch but won't give a stained glass effect if that is what you are looking for.

Edit: If you google Danny Amazonas, there is a youtube interview with him. I didn't listen to it but it might give some insight into how he quilts his work.
