That's what I do when I am trying something new that I am not really sure about.
A "Trial Run" ..... and nothing lost if I am not happy with it.
When I have added flanges, I have stitched them in place with a longer than normal stitch.
Then added the next layer.
However, I think the next time I will stitch them with a long basting stitch along the fold,
as well as in the 1/4" seamline. Press really well before adding the next layer/border.
I'd leave the basting line in until the quilt is fully finished and remove it later.
