    I save most of them and have quilting friends who give me more. I have made a couple of quilts, a pillow and recently saw a cute selvage bag maybe here on QP. They are fun to use.

    I save them but don't have many yet. No idea at this point what I'll do with them....some crazy idea will come to me!

    I am saving them to make a bag or a lap quilt. Why not save them, I save all other scraps.

    I've just recently started saving sevedges with the company names on them but I'm afraid that it's going to take a very long time before I have enough to make anything out of them. I cut about half an inch away from the selvedge--seam allowance???
    Alert--- quilters who throw the selveges out----I am willing to swap FQ for your "trash" if you would mail them to me !!?? Please PM me.
    Happy cutting, Kutnso

    Oh no, I toss them. It seems like too much work to use them.

    I love the stuff that everyone makes with selvedges, but I can't make myself save them. I throw them away.
