Another thought ... if you are thinking of machine quilting rather than hand quilting,
you may want to stitch "out of the ditch" on both sides of all the seams.
Both sides, so that you are sure to grab the fabric in the seam allowance.
It will need to be both, since the seams will be flipping different directions.
A lot of work, but it would conquer your fears.
Another option would be stippling, so that the seams will be well stitched.
