Looks like alot of work to me..but they give new meaning to the title "scrappy" quilts don't they? Very good job and a good way to use up the scraps..someone once said to me.."you are paying for every part of the fabric so why waste it"? She was doing selvage strip projects. crafty_linda_b

Wow - those look fantastic. Obviously I now have to save the selvedges as well as any scrap over 1in. Is there no end to the ingenuity of quilters...
