Hello from snowed in Illinois!

I am starting a quilt that is circles appliqued onto squares. I am using oriental prints. Also, I'm using the fusible applique method. Simple design, just time consuming so far.

My question is: What stitch should I use for the applique? I have used the blanket stitch on the few projects I've done because it shows more. But with the theme being oriental, should i use a stitch that just barely catches the edge of the circles? And if I use a smaller, tighter stitch, will I have to worry about my edges fraying?

Thanks so much for the help.... I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say.
