Not if you are doing dimensional applique. I've done that & in that case none of the edges are encased inside seams unless you actually sew something like a french or rolled seam.

If the ruffle is taking the place of binding, it depends whether you double the fabric over first & then stitch it inside the seam (to where there would be no raw edges) or whether you leave the satin a single layer (in which case the outer edge will be raw, as will any seams you add to get enough length to run around the entire edge of the quilt).
