Please Help me find a solution
I made a ticker tape quilt for my grandniece's 3rd birthday. I found the idea on Bottled Rainbow Blog. Anyway all the pieces were done as raw appliqué. My niece is so disappointed because the raw applique is coming apart (lots of strings) after a few washings. She is bringing up for me to repair. I was thinking of meander quilting over everything, but I know that is not going to help with all the strings that seem to arise with each washing. I loved the quilt, but know I would never make another. I used fray check on it, but I guess that won't last forever. So sad, it was lots of work. Hope you can give me some advise. Here is a picture of it
