Frazzle Toes!

Here is my inspiration for the Toe Throw, found in the Garnet Hill catalog:

Claire asked if I cut the piece on the straight grain or bias.
Hoping that the pieces will fray as much as the photo in the catalog, I cut the pieces on the straight grain!
As I started this project I was wishing I had the catalog on hand! This catalog gets delivered to work and because of the snow on Saturday, I couldn't even call to see if someone could tell me which magazine to do a web search on!
I cut my squares to three inches, which works well for a 80x44 inch throw.
I can't wait to finish quilting, bind and wash. I hope my edges fray! I didn't do a test piece! :)

One more question? Should I sew a raw edge binding? Am I that brave?
I was thinking I might cut a double binding, sew the folded edge to the back of the quilt, turn, iron and stitch. This would leave two edges to fray, anyone have a better idea?
