Ive seen them make large picture quilts out of them,very tedious I would think. but very beautiful. think fons&porter had them in a few years back.

This has been interesting----never thought that anyone would save these things or even use them. I guess we are not as wasteful as I once thought!

OH WOW!!! I didn`t understand how you could keep selvage but after i looked at these sites I now got it...just awesome..guess who will be saving them from now on?? LOL Thank you...you ladies are so creative!!!!

I have taken apart tons of ties to make quilts with and just couldn`t throw the tags away....thy are so interesting...now i think i will try and find an idea to use them ..this board is so inspiring.....

I have recently started saving selvages and hope to make some purses out of them.

I love them,save them and use them just love how they work up!!! They add so much interest to any project. Look at it this way, if you pay $7.00 to $9.00 yard for material they don't deduct just because it's a selvage it's still they same price and makes just as beautiful a piece as the rest with a little added "character"! If you buy the material on vacation or somewhere special, you can even write a note on the edge to commemorate and jog your memory.... include the place or date making it even more unusual!!

Here are some of the blocks I made yesterday.

I think I can put a picture of my King size Selvage quilt on but below this "Quick Reply" there is no place to add the picture. Anyone that can tell me how to do it?

I am going to start ripping off my selvages when I do a project.When I saw those rugs made with wrapped clothseline, that is when I decided...

HisPatchwork- I love your selvage blocks! Thanks for sharing!!!
