Sounds like it would be accurate, would you PM your complete steps. So that is quilting it before you applique on your pieces ?
Then do you just make sure that your applique only goes through the top layers ? And then how do you start and stop without have threads loose ? Thank you for your help; I am making multiple's of this pattern and may change my technique.
Thank you for your tips ~

Just a little heads up on the Frixion pens. I just read an online article on them that cautions that even though your marks appear to be gone forever if exposed to extreme cold they will reappear. The person that wrote the article even washed the item repeatedly and apparently it did not wash out. She put the item in the freezer and they reappeared. My question to myself was, "Who is going to put their quilt in the freezer?" but it is not out of the question that it could be used in conditions that would make the lines reappear. The article can be found here:

NOTE: Frixon pens do work great...however if you stick your quilt in the freezer the marks come back as clear as ever. My concern is that if you make a quilt as a gift at the xmas party...the recipeint leaves it in their car overnight, it gets cold. Marks will be there, might cause trouble if they don't ask how to re-remove the marks.
I did do this as a test in my freezer when I inadverntently ironed out my marks (duh)
