I make strip quilts. I cut pieces of muslin in 1.5" squares and sew the strips diagonally across the muslin. After I trim the edges, the blocks are ready to sew together.
Lay the first piece face up, corner to corner. Lay the next piece right side together with the first piece, sew the edge, flip open and press. Continue until all the muslin is covered.

I'm quite pleased with my use of selvedge strips -- they go into a gardening basket and are used to tie up plants. I figure by the time they rot through the plant shouldn't need support any more, and they certainly add a bit more colour to the garden.
