First Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan. Birthing a quilt as you have described may not be the best way to go if I am understanding you right. You would still have to quilt through the front to the back. You may be better to glue baste and then quilt your pieces together and do a binding. There is a lot available on glue basting. I for one love it. Be sure to use only Elmer's washable school glue. My preference is the clear washable glue. I could make this much easier for you.
