Default Excessive fraying

I'm getting what seems like really excessive fraying from a certain fabric line. The quilt top is complete and I've trimmed all the little strings, but if I so much as breathe in its general direction, all the edges are stringy again. I'm afraid its going to dsappear on me!

I read that starching can help and I'll try that, but I expect this will be loved & washed many times. Will the quilting process put a stop to it? Should it be quilted densely? I hadn't planned on anything really dense because I read it makes for a slightly less "cozy" quilt, but if its needed I will. I haven't actually quilted a top yet, so I'll probably do something basic like straight lines.
