Soooo... I had a top (from a mystery quilt) done that was waiting to go to a quilter. It was folded up, but sitting out. That was my first mistake as DD's young cat was living with us at the time. He found it great fun to play with and by the time I found him, it was a huge wadded up mess covered with fur.

It's bright colors on a black background and the fur is everywhere. I didn't know what to do to clean it up other than spend forever picking them off individually. The front I could use a lint roller, but the back? So I chucked the whole thing in a basket and there it has been ever since. :oops:

How would you suggest I clean a top? I'm afraid to wash it, as it has all of those seams - won't those fray a lot in the washer?
