I will be playing with selvedges along with Quilty Habit and Quilts of a Feather. To start, they've asked us to show how we store our selvedges. Mine are all in this big lined basket in a jumbled mess. I'm in awe of the quilters who have their selvedges stored by color, folded neatly in ziplock baggies.
Earlier this year, I made this selvedge log cabin wall hanging in response to the RIMQG log cabin challenge.
I had a few extra blocks which became a giant pillow.
My first selvedge project was this spiderweb wall hanging made in 2013.
I had so much fun quilting this one!
I will be teaching a class called "Salvaging your Selvedges" in September. This table runner is my class sample of a sampler table runner.
I'm ready to play! Maybe I'll start by sorting my selvedges by color like the cool kids.

Love your selvedge projects. I must admit I've never thought of using mine. I did make a block for a Bee using just selvedges. I enjoyed that but could never make a full quilt
You're already a pro! And wow you have collected and used so many! Thanks for linking up with the Selvage Along!
WOW. I LOVE your log cabin especially. Beautiful work! Thanks for linking up!
So lovely! I'm looking forward to what everybody's coming up with in this selvage-along.
thanks for the inspiration....now to look around and see what i can do with mine....thank you!
Cool kids???? I give mine to the local community gardeners for tomato ties. You are WAY ahead of me!
Amazing projects!
Did you see the sewing room chair cover made from selvages? It was fantastic and I am going to make one - soon, lol.
