It will only fray TO the stitching lines ... the nature of woven fabrics <g> and, the more you machine wash it, the better (in fact, usually wash it three times before you have all the loose threads out of it for the person you give it to.) It is quite the stylish thing to do now on some quilts. <wave>

It will fray somewhat like a rag quilt. The one I made turned out beautiful. (If it is the same pattern)

Here is another addy to a great tutorial. http://whitneyjdavis.blogspot.com/20...-tutorial.html

I had never heard of it either, but when I googled it and saw the pix, I did recognize it, but not by that name.

Have a blessed day.
