    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.
