This selvage dress looks like fun. Even done in doll size would be fun.

Yes! String quilt style
Homespun, I have a friend that string quilts that way and she loves it. She was actually the one that talked me into saving smaller pieces of fabric. I haven't seen a phone book in forever but am glad someone is using them for something. Do you wash the top in your washer or soak it first? How does that work?

I will never, never, never use selveges in a Quult but they are super for lots of other projects. They make especially good ties for plants that drop like tomatoes, peony’s, things like that. I’ve see. C,toning and bags made with them but never in quilts.
