I would at least stitch back over the same area so you have two rows of stitching that would have to break before you would get a hole in your quilt. If you can fidge just a little and not mess up your pattern, take your second row of stitching in as far as you can toward the true 1/4" seam.

I would also consider ironing on a piece of light-weight interfacing over the area in question if I am really concerned about it unravelling.

You will thank yourself later.

the interfacing idea is great. definitely do that anyway.

Ditto this....quilting anchors whatever it goes over, and there won't be any stress on the seam.
