I used a lint roller. I used up an entire roll but the quilt looks much better.

It is a beautiful quilt.

It's a lovely quilt! I have made a couple with flannel and mine frayed quite a bit too for a while. I have washed mine maybe 5 times and dried in the drier and don't get much anymore.

I agree with one of the other comments. ALWAYS use a commercial washer and dryer for the first couple of washes on these. I think your quilt came out very nice. I like the colors. I have made a couple of these and I know how much work it is just to clip all those edges. You did a good job.

So pretty...love how it came out!!!I am thinking of making a king size that way since its to hard to FMQ a King size quilt on my sewing machine. I love how one side is frayed and the other is not.

The commercial dryers are so powerful that the lint isn't a problem on the quilts (I wash the quilt twice and dry it twice as well). I also run the washer through a complete cycle afterwards with nothing in it just so there isn't any lint left behind to ruin the next customer's clothes. I do love your quilt though!! :)

In another post here, I read that someone put a microfiber cloth to "catch" all the loose threads. You might try that.
Really like your new quilt! |
Several healthy shakes outside help a lot too.
