I'm in the middle of "going green" also. How many selvage edges on your fabric have you thrown away since you've been quilting? I'm making a selvage edge quilt. I have 40 eight inch squares made but I'm not sure how many more I'll need in order to cover a King sized bed. I see there are directions for displaying a picture so when I get a little farther along, I'll give it a try.

Great looking fabric.....mj

What wonderful ideas! I too have made Christmas stockings from denim. Need to make 4 for the grands this summer or need to quit having GK (not!) Will post when I get them done.
The silk tie quilt is fantastic! How slippery was it to sew on? Thanks for sharing your ideas.
