Each block is quilted and it will stay together and not bunch up but it seems to lack something around the cats on each block. Maybe I am use to more quilting from my other quilts that I've hand done. I have it laying out so I can get use to it! The pattern came from Quick Quilts Sept 2007 but I changed it to fit the stack of halloween material that I had on hand and wanted to use! I have never been able to follow a whole pattern- not sure why!!!! It was so simple and went together very easy using qayg
