I fold and roll my big scraps. I've been using selvages to tie the rolls together. Maybe I need to rethink my use for selvages.

Well, if any of you want to send me selvages I'll make you something! Just to take them off your hands!

You are an inspiration! I normally throw mine away, but I think I will save them now.

How absolutely lovely...
Really like the block with all the white stripes around the colorful selvages. Beautiful.

I save mine, cut only 1/2-5/8 inch, for tying up boxes, rubbish, tree branches, ripped up carpeting, anything containing several items. They are sooooooo strong and do not break (warp and weft is in that selvage) that I have a few in my car trunk in case I need to tie something or hold the trunk lid down while traveling. I do like the quilted selvages, tho. Nice!
