Questions.....do you cut the selvedges off in one big piece before you cut the fabric for other purpose? Or just cut them off as you go? Do you sort and store by color as you go? Interesting quilt!

I cut off the selvedge as I use the fabric but I use lots of scrap fabrics so I rely on friends and lovely quilters to keep their selvedges and send them to me or I buy them online. I do try and keep the plain selvedges and word selvedges separated but it doesn't always happen. I have them in bags which I can grab and take to our fishing cabin so I can sew on the verdandah.

Very cute! It would be a nice table topper for a couple "tying the knot" .:D

That's awesome! Maybe too cute for a pet? Or a very lucky pet will be very happy to snuggle up on it!

I just love the things you do with selvages Lynnie, I tried saving mine and then everything gets cluttered and in the bin they go. If I think about it I cut the selvages off before I make any cuts but sometimes I forget.

Very pretty quilt and quilting.

Fun pattern & great use of selvages!
