Is it necessary to quilt around each appliqued piece before quilting the rest of the quilt? I have an appliqued quilt with a zillion little pieces, and would like to skip this step. What do you all (Southern talk) do?

Check out some of the very old ones, see how they have held up over the years. Last one I looked at closely was a Sunbonnet Sue, outline stitched by hand, still going after 40 or more years. and of course it's been washed many times. I think we obsess a lot about minor things. Do what feels good and right to you. It will turn out nicely.
