Love the upholstery! Great idea!
You know, selvages are VERY STRONG! I use my stash of selvages for tying up boxes; tomato plants; holding things together, etc. Even have a few tucked in my car for emergencies - you never know when you'll need them and they take up so little room.

I went to a quilt in for the Quilts of Valor a couple of weeks ago. I went around asking everyone for their selvages. Those who thought I was nuts watched me dig them out of the trash can. Most of the fabrics say Quilts of Valor on them. I figure a combination of the selvages along with my scraps left over from making the quilt will make a real nice purse for the 4th of July!
