I do different techniques depending on the top.
I do like the idea of echo quilting or leaves.
It's a raw-edge applique. I just fused it with light weight heat&bond and then did a blanket-stitch edging to each applique prior to sandwiching it to the batting/backing.
As for quilting, I've ditch-stitched each block and very closely quilted next to the applique.
