I am going to make a baby quilt sort of like this one from MSQC (Jenny's tutorial). I have a question about the applique. Has anyone ever just fused the applique pieces on the top but waited until you layered the quilt & then sewed the applique on through all the layers (top, batting & backing)?

Another question....I am thinking of stippling the quilt and was wondering if I would stipple through the appliqued flowers or do I stipple around them? If I was able to applique the flowers on through all 3 layers I would not have to stipple on top of the flowers. If I appliqued the flowers on just the top of the quilt (the normal way) I think I would have to stipple through the flowers.
Any suggestions on this? I'm hoping I can get this made in time for the baby shower on Feb. 25 but my materials won't get to me until Feb. 11. I make have to give the mommy an IOU on the quilt if I don't get it finished in time.
