I know this isn't really something everyone would do, but depending on the use of a quilt, I have been known to iron on a Light weight knit interfacing onto the offending area on the back side to fortify it against fraying or coming loose at a particularly crucial point that I think will later open up and fail.
If the quilt is going to get heavy use by a child dragging it around, or a T.V. lap quilt they are going to get lots of washing and tugging. You see? This is not for any prize quilt or one that will be shown. I have quilted and sent charity donations this way. I have never heard of any mishaps.
I am not saying huge pieces, just the area that is weak.
