Your quilt is lovely! So snuggley! I like wool batting. Very expensive! (Try to get it on sale.)
I think the biggest problem you had was trying to line up front borders & back borders. I've never been able to do that. Next time you might try to have your backing all 1 piece or randomly pieced, so that the quilting doesn't affect it.

use basting spray, no pins needed. Lay an old sheet on the floor then make your quilt sandwich making sure it's nice and flat, pull back the top layer half way, give it a light spray of the basting spray then smooth it back over the batting, do the same for the other half of the front...then pull back the batting and the top and do the same. Doesn't matter if you do the bottom first, whichever is easiest for you. Basting spray is my new best friend, I'll never pin again. Good luck

I agree with Sue - your quilt is adorable and will be loved. As for cardboard under the quilt, another choice is to slide your cutting mat under the quilt, on top of the carpet so you don't pin to the carpet.
