Quilting hand-embroidered blocks?
#1
If you combine pieced blocks with blocks that are embroidered by hand, how do you handle the quilting in the embroidery blocks? Quilt around whatever is embroidered, or ignore the embroidery as you might ignore individual pieces in a block and just proceed with your pattern whether stippling or specific?
The folks down under, in particular, do wonderful quilts which combine piecing, embroidery, and applique, but online it's sometimes hard to see the quilting details, and I'm curious how those of you who do such work approach it!
Thanks in advance!

Here is a link to pictures of a quilt that I made for my DD. Hand embroidered blocks and machine quilted. The embroidered blocks had the quilting lines printed on it - so they machine quilted them perfectly - Stover Quality Quilting in Stover, MO.

I quilt around embroidery or applique...I just don't like messing with the applied design. This is possibly just a personal quirk...I have no idea if there is a "rule" or not. Also there may be a likelihood of distortion, or splitting the threads.
