Just let your quilting friends know you are saving them, then cut them all off your stash....pretty son you will have lots of them. I haven't even made a dent yet!

there is a little purse that is made with the skinny ones. I saw it at my LQG. I started to save them now. Withe the different names of fabric and makers, it looks good.

Selvage edges make GOOD necklaces to attach scissors or any other sewing aid. They are soft, not irritating to your neck and do not cost anything!!!

I am always amazed by the creativity of the people on this board! I have never saved the selvages, but will now. When I get a bunch, I'll post them for free in the classifieds. Thanks for such a great idea! One quilter's junk is another quilter's treasure!!
