I've done that exactly as you described. Fuse, spray baste, use applique stitch as the quilting stitch also. Works great. Good luck!

I have heard of fusing sandwiching and then quilting the applique down instead of stitching it down prior to quilting, but have never tried it. although I think some trapunto would really make your large flower pop IMHO

It will work- I have done it that way - just make sure your foot will allow it( if you are using a walking foot) - I use the walking foot and have space , just keep the stitch smaller( not such a wide swing in, does that make sense ?)

By the way love your wall hanging

Sometimes when you do a wall hanging it will need more quilting or else over time it will begin to sag in the unquilted spots.

Try a little sample sandwich and see. I would think that it would work if the stitch selected wasn't too fancy. I'm thinking a dense or fancy stitch might have trouble handling the whole sandwich? If your batt was low loft even some fancy stitches would probably work. I know some people thread paint on a finished sandwich so it would be the same principle wouldn't it?
