Delightful! It takes a lot of organization to make this so color coordinated...I, too have been playing with selvages, but not on this scale! Congratulations on a show stopper!

I don't normally like selvage quilts, but your's is amazing. Super cool design & use of color placement.

This is so beautiful!! I've been collecting selvages, but no where close to having this many!

Wow! That is soooo striking. Love the color placement. You did an amazing job. I would have given it a ribbon for sure!

Thanks for all the nice comments. The selvages are from very narrow up to probably 2" wide. I'm an equal opportunity scrap/selvage user :). I use the flat method of layering each selvage and stitching the edge so it's really not stiff at all. Granted, it's a little heavier than a regular pieced quilt but still quite usable if I choose to. I first sorted selvages by color to determine if the idea was even possible. Then when I found I could easily fill a project box each with the main colors I designed the layout.
