Are you gals talking about cutting the selvages off in long strips the length of fabric before you cut your strips across the width...I cut my width of strips and then cut the selvages off.
Should it be done the other way to save me some cutting?
There have been times I need that last half inch to get the amount of blocks needed from each strip.

I may have some for you. How long do you need them to be? I have some with just dots and some with just words. Interested? (have some with both!) PM your addy if you want them.
While on the subject of what to do with them - years ago I rolled them into balls (using fabric glue where necessary to hold them down) and put them in a wooden bowl on the table. Looked pretty. A friend makes them for her cat to play with.
