Hi! I am Sandy and I am a selvege saver! :-) I have made two quilts, two jackets and various little projects, hot pads, little bags, those funky chickens from the great pattern posted here. I figure if I pay $8-10 per yard of fabric, I am going to get my money's worth. I usually don't save the pieces smaller than 3 inches. Those go in the scrap bag for a dog bed and as soon as I can find someone who can use the big bag of scraps, off it will go. For the quilts, I cut up cheapo fabric into squares and sew strips of selvege onto them as leaders and enders while I am sewing other things. In a few months, I have enough blocks for a quilt.
