    If this works,thank you for your help, you will see a photo of half of my King sized Selvage quilt. The keyboard boarder is selvage also and I have four more bags of selvage edges in the closet!

    this is amazing, at first I was only making small cosmetic bags for girls home, but maybe I will try making lap quilt for nursing home! Would surely give the little ladies something new to talk about ,,, love 'em!!

    To make a diamond you need two selvage squares. Cut each one from one corner to the other. Then rearrange them and sew together.

    I just use them for tying things up, roll up and tie spare bedding, pillows, use the to tie fabric bundles, or in the garden, they are strong and environmentally friendly.

    That's a nice idea of using the selvage edges. I like your boarder also.
