Question Scant 1/4" seam allowance

I've been working on a quilt that needs to have a scant 1/4" seam allowance. The thought that goes through my mind is that I wonder how well the seams are going to stay closed, through the washings. My scant 1/4" seam is right in the middle between 1/8" and 1/4".

In pretty much all my previous quilts, I have used a full 1/4" seam. So, I guess this is why it is worrying me a bit.

Does anyone have problems/issues with seams fraying open when doing the scant 1/4" with quilting cotton, after multiple washings? And, what is actually the measurement of a 'scant 1/4" seam allowance?
