I made a couple more that I used fusible fleese and that worked better then batting. The batting distored the square i started with so I will not use that again. I did not fuse the fleese to the fabric but I maybe should have use that side to sew the fabric on. The second ones I had to square up the sides before I went any further. What foundation did you use?
Also...my very first strip is not a selvage piece...I use a regular strip of fabric at least 1 1/4" (could go wider) wide then I sewed my first selvage strip down. Most of my selvages are narrower than the ones in your bag, too.

Thanks for showing us your lovely selvage bags! Are you using the sew and flip method?
Lay first selvage right side up and the second strip right side down over the first one and sew along one edge...open the strips and continue placing strips along one edge to sew and flip?
