Hello everyone, I am new to the site and have a question that I am sure many of you can assist as I am at a loss of figuring out how to repair.

I gave my sister a winter quilt, using Denim and Corduroy material. Each block is ten inches square made with 4 triangles.

I bound the quilt with machine stitching around the inside border (there are two borders surrounding the quilt and I Machine tacked the quilt every 9 - 10 inches. Well some of the triangles and border are fraying.
What is the best way to repair. Should I use a decorative stitch on each of the triangles and the sashing or should I cut off the outer borders and start with a new border and backing after I sew the decorative stitch on each of the blocks?

Your input is greatly appreciated.
