Im making a baby quilt that will mostly be a tummy time, heirloom piece. I'm considering using butterflies from the border fabric as raw-edged appliqués in the middle of the quilt and embroidering baby's name, NORA, in decorative capitals- 1 letter per square. Any tips on quilting those raw edges so they don't fray? Too small for a stain stitch around the raw edges. Are the appliqués a bad idea? How about the embroidery?
