I am making a valentine wall hanging that uses hearts that are appliqued 1/4" from the edge - which are supposed to ravel. As I was basting, getting ready to FMQ, it occured to me that loops and swirls all over might interfere with the raveling of the appliques. Not a whole lot of space that's NOT a heart, so I'm just asking for your thoughts, or maybe somebody has had a similar situation?

I didn't mention in my original post that there are 3 hearts decreasing in size that are stacked on each other. So, I'm thinking that quilting inside the largest heart will affect the raveling of the smaller 2 hearts.

All three hearts are stitched 1/4" from their raw edge, stacked on each other. The base block is about 9", the largest heart is about 8-1/2" diameter, then 6", the smallest is 4". No sashing joining blocks, either.
