Latest Selvedge Quilt
Gosh, taking a couple of months away from social media and you can get Sew much sewing done LOL. Here is my latest selvedge quilt, all made from selvedges. The smaller quilt and words used plain selvedges. The larger background quilt, about 40inches squares, used up lots of plain selvedges from my stash. Then I added a couple of figures to hold up the smaller quilt, one made from word selvedges, the other from plain selvedges. I love how this quilt has come together. The binding is even made by sewing smaller selvedge strips together, folded in half to make a binding and sewn to the quilt. No selvedge goes to waste in this sewing room ! Barely made a dent in my selvedge stash though.

I love your quilt and others you have posted using salvages. You have inspired me to start saving my salvages and in most cases cut at least 11/2". Do you suggest more cut with the salvages? These quilts are "good to the last drop" of fabric! Thanks for sharing.
