Thanks for your recommendations!
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. My concern is that the fraying leaves loose threads all over the back of the quilt, some make their way to the front of the quilt where I do more snipping. I have used a light stabilizer before when I thought I needed to reinforce a seam or two....just in case. Worst case scenarios, I've used a dot of fray check, but as mentioned it can leave a "spot" on the quilt if I'm not careful.
It seems my older fabrics in my stash are more reliable than many current top brands I've purchased recently. I guess it's time to stop shopping and start driving more deeply into my stash. = ;o)
