Thank you for your reply! She bought this fat quarters from Joanns for the front of the quilt. The back of the quilt Im not sure about. I did not try a smaller needle. If the thread breaks again, I will try that.
Anyone else with any ideas?

I would change the needle size, trying a larger and smaller size. Sometimes a smaller needle with pierce the fabric better. I don't think the fraying or stray threads are an issue, but I'm very curious to see what more experienced quilters have to say.
