I think the same as I only started collecting them 3 years ago and I have been quilting for 30 years. I now find myself buying lots more fabric JUST for the selvedges, that is how obsessed I am with them.

I've seen some quilts and purses made from selvedges, but your's are by far the most beautiful! Amazing work.

Those pics are wonderful. I've not been a big fan of selvedge projects, but I love what you've done! So creative.

Thank you Lynnie, I probably wouldn't use any but will save them and share when I have enough for someone to use.
