I quilted the background fabric without the poppies. Once the poppies were done I sewed them onto the background using one of the decorative stitches on my machine. No fusible since each poppy was already pretty thick. I bought some Smooch and other paint type stuff to go around the edges of the poppies where I did not like how they looked. I never use invisible thread, I don't like it. Hope that helps.
