I like the look of the blanket stitch, you can use it too if you have one on your machine. You should use whichever stitch ( or hand applique) that you like best, You can even use a straight stitch around the edge , it does not have to be a decorative stitch. Once your block is quilted the applique stitch you use will probably be less prominent
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BLANKET STITCH MACHINE APPLIQUE
If your machine has this stitch, it's a fabulous way to finish your applique edges with a pretty, traditional look. This works very well on raw edges that have been fused, or turned under edges, including the interfacing (flip and fuse) method that we used.
