Selvedge Mug Rug

I have been saving selvedge (wasn't sure why) & made this mug rug. I really like the way it came out. I used the tutorial from the link below.

I'm toying with making a tote bag - a bit ambitious on my part - but might give it a try.

I will never get to make anything with selvedge as I am so cheap, that I cut them off at the next thread, so as to not lost any usable fabric. Sad, isn't it?
Love your little mug rug though, 'specially the corner set layout, makes it very interesting.

I would rather have the selvage to make cut little things with, that throw are and inch or two of fabric after I cut my pieces.
