At the Houston Quilt Show there was a quilt made totally of the selvages. It was great! I was I had a photo to show you.

Actually, that's Karen's blog. I don't collect them at all but am constantly amazed at the things people are creating using them. I mean, really, check out the Easter bunny on the first page of the blog. It's hysterical. My all time favorite, though, is the dress made by someone in Australia. http://selvageblog.blogspot.com/2008...carletons.html The umbrella is pretty cool, too. |
I'm saving the printed parts to add to a bookcase quilt, and the remainder just because but haven't a purpose for the remainder yet. Also looking for printed fabric scraps in different colours for the bookcase quilt (since the selvages are usually white). I could dye some I suppose....haven't gotten that far ahead yet LOL.

wow! The imagination runs wild, but will save them for others.
