If it is a wall hanging, I would humbly suggest Misty Fuse...the least stiff fusing I've found. Picked some up at the booth at the Houston quilt show last year and it works like a dream-strong, yet very pliable and soft. For reference, it comes in white or black.

This was my first thought. I also liked this idea: An organza overlay (not fused ... just laid over it) might hide any quilted lines and give a nice shimmer effect as well (the shimmer effect overpowering the background and any quilting lines) from DogHouseMom.

How about hand quilting the sky from the back, and only going thru the backing and batting. That way, the batting will be held in place by the quilting thru the backing, and the front would be clear and smooth.

I put tulle on top of mine before quilting

Have you given any thought to invisible thread if it needs quilting. Maybe a few wavy lines going horizontal with invisible thread? So you don't lose your sky affect. What ever you decide I'm sure it will turn out great!! There is some really awesome sky fabric all over online!

could you embroidery a couple birds on the sky?

Quilt some cloudy shaped things with the same back and forth stitches that you would do in water.

I use Misty fuse front and back to the batting.
