I saw a picture posted on another forum just recently of a quilt made entirely of selvages and it was very pretty. I haven't been saving them, and have no interest in them myself, but will keep them until I have a box to send to someone.

What are mug rugs?

wow..ok thanks everyone, i will get a bag, and start saving them, and when i get enough, i will post it, for shipping costs.........i would rather save them then throw them out.....gina

Hooray. I am so excited about this whole selvage thing. I can't wait to get enough to do this funky lamp project. In the past, I have used them to make tropical bird toys with. I have a Goffin Cockatoo and an African Grey and to keep them busy I take my selvage pieces and use a crochet needle to pull them through small wiffle balls. I thread about 40+ and them I gather them up 2 at a time and tie knots. They turn into a giant puffball of scrap balls that they birds play with, preen, chew on and swing from. I never thought to use them as pieces for quilting before.

Isn't there a minimum width that is needed for these? 1"?
Or can you use really skinny pieces?

I use selvages to make gifts for a quilting friend. I have made many little quilts, potholders, pincushions, etc. Just wove an Easter basket with them.I never looked at them before. Now I read them. Perhaps we need a page in the gallery!

I started saving them about 2 months ago after seeing some of the projects posted here.

remind me to add some to your package...I have some good ones right now!

I have been saving since I joined this board. I am use them for a small item or send them to someone who needs them.

a girl in our guild makes purses out of them so I save them for her
