The threads bother me...I always take a sweater shaver to the project when finished. I don't get a huge amount of fray..but have any of you tried using strips cut on the bias? what would be the down side?
I have only tried this with bias strips. They work fine and there's no shredding. Can't think of a down side.

quilter1147, your baskets are lovely.
