This is my opinion, too. I like the look of the finished project with it having been finished like a quilt before being made into the pillow top. Also, it seems to take less filling material as it already has some "stuffing " in it.

I've done throw pillows both ways. Sometimes I like them unquilted and other times quilted.

This is a patchwork cushion I made last year. I used very thin batting and a plain lining, and a wiggly quilting stitch.

I do, too. I quilt the top over batting for the quilted look. If you don't want that, there is no reason you can't just eliminate it. I would, however, interface the top with something just for extra strength.

Go down to a craft or fabric store and get a big bag of wadding stuff. It's not expensive, fortunately. There is a slight chance that cushions can get deflated if the fluff gets crunched over time until it's not fluffy anymore. All you have to do to remedy it is cram some more fluff in there. Problem solved!

I usually add batting a bit of quilting before I add the backing and put the pillow form in.

I agree that this is a more professional look. Too, if you are stuffing this pillow, it will take less stuffing material..
