Delightful! It takes a lot of organization to make this so color coordinated...I, too have been playing with selvages, but not on this scale! Congratulations on a show stopper!

Wow! That is soooo striking. Love the color placement. You did an amazing job. I would have given it a ribbon for sure!

Thanks for all the nice comments. The selvages are from very narrow up to probably 2" wide. I'm an equal opportunity scrap/selvage user . I use the flat method of layering each selvage and stitching the edge so it's really not stiff at all. Granted, it's a little heavier than a regular pieced quilt but still quite usable if I choose to. I first sorted selvages by color to determine if the idea was even possible. Then when I found I could easily fill a project box each with the main colors I designed the layout.
