I wish I could find a picture. It had all high end designer labels (YSL, CK, MK,etc) some of them vintage which made it so interesting.

People are so nutty - I'm referring to myself. I save them, but use them for tying things in my garden, tomatoes, etc. I really want to thank all you lovely people here, though, for all the fantastic info I have gotten in just the past couple of weeks. Sure wish we could get together and quilt.

I do. I don't have enough for a quilt, but it's a start.

Yes I save them. I have big plans for them! But in the mean time, I make gift tags for my quilted projects with the selvedge from the material used.
I would post a picture, but I can't figure out how!!

I put a selvage edge pillow on page 3 of this thread on the board. I'll try and post another picture. The one I am posting was my first one and I was following a pattern for the layout. I was not happy with such a big yellow piece on the quilt. I did a King size and love it, but can't get it to post.

I've mailed some edges to someone on this board, who is making a quilt, so please save them. The need will come up.

I save and use them. I'm in the process of making blocks right now.
