Default Help with Granddaughter's quilt

I bought my granddaughter a basic sewing machine last Christmas, she used it some but making doll clothes and so on and has helped me make some quilts. She decided to make herself a quilt and wanted to do it all by herself. After she had it all done she brought it to me to quilt, her seams were nice and straight and it look really good. But after looking at the seams I noticed she must have had the machine set on basting or a real long stitch.

So my question is will the quilt fall apart.. The seams are fine all stitched nice and straight but just a very long stitch. Is there anything I can do to make sure it won't fall apart after a few washings when I quilt it? I really can restitch it as there are a lot of HST and it just wouldn't be possible to do.

Do you think if I quilted a very dense quilting on it that it would hold together? I will point this out to her that the next time she needs to watch her stitch length, but in a nice way.. Thanks for your advice on this...
