Default Questions about rag applique technique

I am making a baby quilt & want to try the rag applique technique on it.
  1. Do you use fusible web on the back side to stick the applique piece down? If so, will the fusible at the edge keep the edge from fraying when washed or should I set the fusible in a bit so it's not right on the edge of the back side?
  2. How far in from the edge do I start my stitching?
  3. Do you snip the edge after the piece is sewn down so it will fray more when washed (sort of like a rag quilt)?
Is rag applique o.k. for a baby quilt?

Any other info about this technique would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a pic of the quilt I am going to make:
