This morning I was just thinking how my selvages are adding up. Thanks for posting a wonderful wall hanging. So much more interesting than just "books".

What a creative way to use your salvages! I love how you've added photos to your bookcase! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Me too!!! I also like Sandy's "She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!". That sounds like me too.

Wow - A member of one of my guilds asked for two-inch strips. Fabrics are getting narrow enough that I wasn't about to cut two inches off. I have been cutting as you said for my project.

What a great idea for selvages. I now have an idea for the bag of selvages I have. Thank you.

You are very clever to come up with that idea of using salvages. Beautiful quilt.
