Default Will pinking work for appliqué?

Still fairly new to the world of appliqué. I'm attaching a smaller yellow heart shape onto a slightly larger multi color black heart shape in one corner of thus baby quilt . I'm doing just one because the spot was a mistake of thread sewn so tight I just couldn't undo it. Hence the "patch" if an appliqué.

My question is, if I pink the edges of both shapes and then top stitch near the edges, keeping the Pinked edges as is for a decorative look, will it hold up over time? Or should I turn all the edges under and sew down?
