Very nice wall hanging. Somehow selvage projects are very intreaging (sp.) to me. I love looking at all the fabrics represented.

you must have alot of patience

Very nice! Love it! Your border reminds me of the tiny pieces of selvages I saved too for just such a thing and couldn't think of throwing them away!
|
Great job. It's very cheerful looking.

That is awesome! I want to make one now for my sewing room! Did you use a pattern?

I found this neat online calculator to use to determine what size squares to make to cut the triangles for each round. I added a little extra to the calculated size to give me some trimming room.

How fun...reminds me that Spring is coming...all the lovely colors. Thank you for sharing...I am collecting selvages ..but some times I think I cut too close for them to be of any use. Thank you for posting. :)

I have a lot of then given to me that aren't big enough. I like to have a half inch of the main fabric showing, don't always get it. When I start a project if figure out what width I need to get the number of pieces cut from it....then add a little bit for straightening and I cut the rest off along with the selvage. I like big long pieces so may cut the selvage from a whole yard of fabric, or if I'm trimming for backing do the whole piece in one cut..
