I finally warmed up the iron and pressed the Orca Bay pairs. Tonight is guild meeting (we are dying fabrics!!!!) so I probably won't get back to these until tomorrow night.
I also pulled out some selvages to work on. My guild is having a bunch of mini lessons next month and this is one they asked for so I figured I better get some "steps" done for the tutorial. These are 7" strips that I started sewing into pairs putting any kind of fabric together, especially when you don't expect them together. Next I'll sew 2 pairs together and then just keep adding pairs or individual selvages until it's about 7" square. Then they will be trimmed to 6.5". Easy peasy.
I also want to make a doll quilt top with another selvage design I have saved at home before quild meeting just to share another use. We shall see how that goes...
Did you comment on the 2 linky parties from 8/17/12 yet? Please do as there are giveaways!

Hey, I have more selvages piling up. Do you want them?
I can only work on one quilt at a time, I need to get busy get started on two other quilts I have to do!
The selvage blocks sound interesting and fun to make.

Have fun with your Orca Bay blocks and dying tonight...that sounds like fun! Can't wait to see what you do with the selvages! Thanks for sharing.
Freemotion at the River Linky Party Tuesday
So, just out of curiosity, how much fabric do you leave on the selvage when you trip it? Funny, Orca Bay has been making comeback appearances on a lot of blogs, lately!! :)
