how would you quilt.......
I have been ask to quilt my friends lap quilts (she has passed away, her daughter and I are close) they are older, one is the little dutch girl. I feel like these need to be hand quilted or tacked, but the daughter wants them machine quilted. My question, Do I machine quilt over the applique or go around it.I have only quilted one top that was appliqued and I went around it. So what would you do?

My friend just took two old appliqued quilts to an appraiser. The appraiser told her that the one that had the quilting running right through the appliqued pieces was much more valuable than the ones that are just quilted around the applique. I have always quilted around the applique but may change my method since I heard that!
