Default Applique tree

I plan to make this pattern but use it on a table runner.
http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2009/10...ll-pillow.html
The maker of this quilt used fusible webbing for the leaves and then sewed around on top of the leaves, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch inside the edges. Won't the fabric ravel eventually?
Also, if I do a blanket stitch or zigzag around the edges do you think I have to change colors for each leaf or use the same thread for all the leaves? My colors will be a little bit more vibrant than those shown--golds, greens, purples, etc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
