Selvedge Quilts
 
5 Attachment(s)
In between other larger, more intense quilting projects, I have been finished sewing another two selvedge quilt tops and have another one underway. This is how my dining table looks on the days I 'play' with my selvedges.

I have been making lots and lots of tote bags, the first picture are bags which are quilted and fully lined. The second picture is some of the 'fishing' themed tote bags I am making ready to sell at a market I am attending in April.

so the selvedges are used to line the bags? they look great btw! :thumbup:

I like your selvedge quilts - especially the second one. These seem doable for me . . . mixing the selvedges with scraps. Your bags are inviting too. I'll have to put all these on my "to do" list.

Wow! It looks like you are ready to open your own shop.

Love your bags,and excellent use of selveges, I really like your bags, the fish ones are just wonderful. My favorite is the fish with the red wavy background going for the dragonfly. :thumbup:

What great projects! I’m glad you’ve been “found”...some people were wondering where you were. Now we know. You’ve been busy!

no, the bags are lined with coordinating fabric. The selvedges are used for the outer panels of bags or made into quilts.

Wow! You sure have been busy making bags and your selvage pieces are a work of art.

Thanks for the pictures, while I have heard of selvedge quilts I've never seen one before -- yours are glorious.

Those tote bags are fantastic. You sure do have a way with selvedges. What an imagination. Great use of them.

Haha, I would if I didn't keep buying them or accepting them from my quilting friends. My obsession with them is growing every time I sew another project. I do wonder what will happen to the quilts I make though, no one seems interested in them other than me.

Great work on all counts!

Very adventurous and creative quilts. I have never kept the salvages but what a fun use for them. Your totes should fly off the shelf at the fair. Good luck!

Elfi2 03-27-2019 10:26 PM

Very interesting selvage quilts ��Never kept them myself but have just been asked by a friend to keep them for her, so looking forward what she makes with them �� and I absolutely Love your bags, they look great !!! ��
