I imagine it does; it's pretty loosely woven, with ~30 threads per inch. I'm hoping I can handle it without too much trouble. The design is a simple one and I can starch, if that will help. Is fraying a concern beyond the assembly stage? In other words, once the quilt is put together, do I need to worry about fraying?

I'm getting a great education here - many thanks!
