If you can buy the felting needle attachment for your machine, you can just 'felt' them together the same way it was made! :) We used to do this at the shop with our Janome felting machine.

Then I would add the next fabric and batting strip face down on the last one and stitch down, flip it down and proceed in this manner 'til you get to the bottom of your backing. You have a lap quilt sewn and quilted and just have to put the binding on.

I use leftover quilt batting in bags and bag handles. I make covers for coathangers and use the leftovers to pad the wooden hangers. I also make machine embroidered covers and I place the batting under the fabric and embroider through both layers.
I also join the batting if needed.
