i am curious in just how many people do save these, and make quilts out of them.....what got me thinking is i was just cutting selvage off 8 yards of material to be used for the back of a quilt i am making (yes i left the cutting table to come here and post!!!)...so how about it, do save these or not.......gina

I've seen people post on here that they make entire quilts with them. I say God Bless Them!

Members will be happy to take these off of your hands, and pay for the shipping too :D:D:D

I use them sometimes, but mainly collect them for making pot holders are other small projects.

I use them for mug rugs, coin purses, hot pads. and have a list of more things to try.

I'm starting a collection because I've seen some of the neatest creations made from them :D

I feel like a fool, I have never saved these and have cut so many off. Does anyone have a picture of what a quilt might look like made of these? I am intrigued.

I don't save them for myself. I have two boxes next to my cutting area....one for salvages and one for small scraps(for postage stamps). When a box is full, I post it on here for shipping cost. I would just throw them out and am glad to save them for others that can actually use them.

I am saving them to make purses. i will gladly pay for postage if anyone wants to get rid of theirs.
