After finishing the punch needling on fabric printed with bathing beauties, I
agonized over what to do with it. Although I have a frame that might have
worked, I decided to do a quilt-like wall hanging with a fabric border. After
pawing through my stash, I found something. I turned the air blue attaching the
borders. With the top finished, I'm coming to you for advice.
Should I attach backing and quilt batting and then turn it inside out?
Or, should I attach backing, turn it inside out and then slip a piece of
cardboard or plastic in for stiffening?

Silly you. You already know the answer: it depends on the final look
you want. Soft? Use batting. Prim? Use cardboard.

I opted to use plastic canvas for stiffening and confirmed that I really suck
at putting things together. Despite my best efforts, it's not quite square

If you use quilt batting, you would need to at least attach it to the top or
it will end up in a wad on the bottom of the hanging. Quilters would attach
the backing and the batting to the front, making a sandwich and then sew on
the edge, leaving it long enough to turn it to the back where it is turned
under and hand stitched down.
