Selvage quilt
 

From Karen Griska's book, my take on the Silk Cigar Ribbon quilt. Just the flimsy but couldn't wait any longer to share :o. Sorry for the bad pics I'll take better ones after it's quilted. I cannot thank enough all the board members who have sent me selvages to help fuel my creative juices.

Whoa!!! That's beautiful AND fun to look at.

Very nice quilt.....

Neat idea!

Great quilt so far, love the beadwork, too! How kind of those who sent their selvage edges.:) I never cut mine off before I trim from a strip when I sew, because having the edges left on helps me quickly determine where the straight grain of the fabric is.

Holy cow, that's awesome! I can't even imagine how to start a quilt like that.

Thanks everybody for all the nice comments. I plan (hope) to have it done and entered in our local quilt show next March.

Hi Diane: This is amazing!! What size is it? Good luck at the quilt show! Love the beaded handwork!! I can't wait to see how you quilt it.

That is beautiful and awesome. I have been saving my selvage ever since I saw a mug rug made out of them here on this board. My daughter has tried many time to throw them away. She calls me a pack rat. Can't wait to show her your quilt.

OMG! What size is this! I love it!

It's 39" x 39" right now. I'm open for any suggestions for quilting it. Thanks.

That is SO cool!

I really like that.

Very cool!

now that is eye candy-awesome.I have started saving selvedges also and want to do a quilt from them.

Great job! Neat quilt!

Your quilt is really awesome. I can't help but think of it as an "I Spy" for quilters! (Smile)

Stunning!! I love working with selvedges!! I have only made cushions/bags/kindle covers so far.....think I'll have to try a quilt next!! I have lots of selvedges my quilting group save for me!! Your quilt has inspired me!!! Thanks for sharing!

Oh now that is diffrent

Awesome!!! I love anything made from salvages. I can't believe that we used to throw them away.

that is fantastic!!

Oh my, that is wonderful. Lots and lots of work.

Thanks for showing your quilt...I have mailed some out, not sure who to...but I have wondered what they would turn into! So cool!!

That is an awesome quilt! Lots of sewing!! Thanks for sharing....

This is inspiring me to work with the selvages I've been saving! As far as quilting how about some strong diagonal lines to enhance the center medallion to this lovely quilt. A cross hatching type of design.

PS Thanks jammin jane for resurfacing this thread. I would have missed it otherwise.
