If you use a cotton batting that needs quilted 2"-4" you will of course need more quilting to keep it together. If you are not planning to use batting I would probably try spray basting or a lightweight fusible web to hold the layers together for quilting.
Do you know of a brand of batting that's less dense than warm & natural, a lighter batting with this beast is a must! It's already so heavy, it's going to knock over my quilt frame.
