    Very nice wall hanging. Somehow selvage projects are very intreaging (sp.) to me. I love looking at all the fabrics represented.

    Very nice! Love it! Your border reminds me of the tiny pieces of selvages I saved too for just such a thing and couldn't think of throwing them away!

    I didn't have a pattern but did have the center two pieces already sewn. I just used the picture I saw for and idea of what to do on each round. It is just a square in a square. only thing I did different from the pictured one was to add a small strip around a couple squares to highlight them. You can used my picture as a reference if you want.

    I found this neat online calculator to use to determine what size squares to make to cut the triangles for each round. I added a little extra to the calculated size to give me some trimming room.

    I have a lot of then given to me that aren't big enough. I like to have a half inch of the main fabric showing, don't always get it. When I start a project if figure out what width I need to get the number of pieces cut from it....then add a little bit for straightening and I cut the rest off along with the selvage. I like big long pieces so may cut the selvage from a whole yard of fabric, or if I'm trimming for backing do the whole piece in one cut..
