It depends on the look you want and the use of the quilt. A small matching satin stitch will hold up better than an open zig zag, buttonhole or straight stitch inside the edge. I like a matching thread buttonhole stitch but the edges of the fabric will fray up a bit with repeated washing. Some people prefer a small invisible thread zig zag so they don't have to change thread colours.
