That is awesome. I love the books leaning and a few piled up. And of course you would find photos in the bookshelf. Wonderful quilt, just wonderful.

This is THE best idea I've ever seen for using selvages. Makes me wish I'd been saving mine all along!

that way I don't loose any of the writing.

if you only get the written part it is very hard to do any thing with that selvage.
your seams become too small.

Hope this info help...

Thanks for this info. I've been cutting off more than was needed.
