Raw edge appliqué.....never having done it but just thinking about it does bring up lots of shedding! Has anyone done one cutting the pieces out with pinking shears-isn't that supposed to eliminate all that stringing? Also, when did you give this quilt and how many times has it been washed since then.....maybe a bit over over-washing? JMHO
