You go to the fabric store, find fabric that is just gorgeous. You buy it, cut it up in little pieces and mix it up with other little pieces and put them all back together to make a gorgeous quilt. Now you're telling me that you need to take the selvage remnants, which are not gorgeous, mix them up and put them all together? Are you kidding me? I have a roomful full of fabric and now I have to go back and salvage those strips? A lot of them don't have proper seam allowance...what do you do with those? Fortunately, I have already saved some. More importantly, in my opinion, I have kept the diagrams Daisy Kingdom, etc always used on their cutouts, plus bits and pieces even tho I have never made a scrap quilt and never intended to. Now I find my self obsessing about scraps! What about excess wording from feed sacks...what's next? Who makes up this stuff?
