You can also finish the edges with a chenille strip that will also rag. Cut the strips 1" wide and stack two of them together. Let 1/4" hang off the edge of the quilt and sew down the center of the strips. You can butt the strips together you do not have to sew them together like regular binding, the butted pieces won't show once they are washed. Clip both sides and once washed, you will have a nice edge. Using different colored fabrics for the binding strips give it a different look too :D:D:D
