Sketchy Applique {Machine Quilting}

I wanted to give you a closer look at the applique on the PTA quilt I showed you last week.

I am always looking for a faster way to do everything.

I knew there was no way I would have time to hand or machine blanket stitch the applique on this quilt. That leaves me with my longarm to finish off the applique.
Using my long-arm, I quilted around each shape 3-4 times. I was careful to catch all of the edges, but I let my stitching fall off the edges too. I love the sketchy look it creates.
