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.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt with us !!! |
Wow! That's beautiful!

The flat method is sewing along the edge of a selvage that is placed on top of another selvage while using a foundation material underneath. The turned method requires a wider selvage so that you can stitch and turn like a regular seam.
I've realized that selvage sewing is a great mystery to most so I am working on a tutorial with pictures and will let you all know when it's posted. |
I saw your quilt at the show this past weekend - WOW!!!
