They suggest you cut 1"-2" with the selvedge so you can get a bit of color in there... but you don't have to. You can use just the selvedges. Lay one down and then lay another one overlapping it a bit, the finished edge covering the raw edge of the one below. Then sew close to the finished edge. Cover your piece that way, working from edge to edge, always covering a cut edge with a finished edge. You will have selvedges only (no fabric prints) but that looks cool too.
