Halloween quilt from a swap

[MuseAndSew]

Hi,

I'm finally posting a quilt I'm almost done with. Yea! I put a bat border around it. Too bad it wasn't completely done before Halloween. I'm still learning on my longarm so I have a question for the longer quilters here. What ways do you use for quilting around appliqué blocks? I'd love your idea's of what's worked for you.

Love that bat border. I did spider webs all over on one Halloween quilt. The long arm quilter just went over the applique.

Beverly I love your Halloween quilt especially your border. I usually do a lot of echo quilting around applique and throw in swirls or bubbles. Hope that helps you going forward in your quilting journey.

Love your quilt, Bev! You did such a nice job on it. Often I will use small stipple around appliqués or embroidery. Kind of makes the focal point stand out

Nice job Beverly. Love the bat border. Did you design it?

In answer to you question about designing the bat border, I did a Sue Halloween swap years ago & the pattern had a bat border. I always liked the bat border so I finally made one. I found a bat pattern I liked and then made it the size I needed & went from there.
