Default batt for soft wall hanging

Trying this a second time (and hoping that both threads don't suddenly appear.)

I have done a board search on wall hanging batts, but still could use some expert advice from the board.

I have 6 orphan blocks (HSTs with Aunt Graces) and want to add sashing, etc, to make a wall hanging for my FIL's door. He lives in a retirement community, in his own apartment. The fabrics were soft before washing and now are even more so.

Felt from a bolt and fusible fleece were suggested; would those work just behind the top to beef it up? Could these be washed? (not even sure washing is necessary for a WH.)

I am leery about starching and hanging the blocks now, as they could droop out of shape.

We are going to be rolling past a JoAnn soon and I could get something if I only knew what. DH will deliver the project via plane, so it will likely be folded or rolled in transit.

thank you,
charlotte
