Default Applique question

I am doing the dance of the dragonflies quilt (you can find it here: https://www.keepsakequilting.com/dan...-quilt-pattern )

I've got everything cut out and all the pieces ironed on to the black wings and body.

My question is this: In the pattern it says iron everything onto the front of the quilt (fabric provided) and then put the batting and then the backing. And then do the applique.

I'm wondering if I couldn't applique the pieces of fabric onto the wings and body before I put it all on the front piece of the quilt. Since there is black fabric in between all of the colours, I could then sew with black thread between all the colours when all three layers are together.

make sense?

Ideas? This is second time doing applique and my first was not as pretty LOL

Thanks so much,

Marion
