Default Crazy quilt questions

As I begin planning my CQ adventure--- maybe three blocks or something more substantial....I have a few questions. First I am thinking I will piece by machine using 1/4" seams, not the Victorian way of placing fab pieces onto foundation, trim, fold under and hand emb down. I may, however attempt to hand emb and or embellish some seams just for kicks and grins..that is after I've sewed them w/ machine. So, if I do piecing by machine, then either machine dec stitches or hand, I don't think I would need the muslin foundation? But, if I do, that means all that added stitching is done thru to back muslin too. So does that mean when all done ( hah!) I would have to somehow attach a backing fabric to cover all that? Just trying to pre plan this challenge! Thanks for insights/ ideas/ suggestions

oops! Forgot--- if I don't use a muslin foundation, would I then need a tear away stabilizer if I decide to do machine deco stitches?
