Selvages

Without an iron, there are only so many projects I am willing to work on but a recent squishy from Janet put me in the mood to work on my selvage blocks.


I sewed the pairs together into foursies and I paired each of Janets selvages with another selvage I already had. I'll continue making pairs at this point but once I can press the foursies, I'll measure them and see if I need another pair or two to make it the proper size. Then I can trim them to 6.5" square and add them to the quilt.


This is a nice easy long term project if anyone is interested in making one - and it's especially nice to include selvages from friends near and wide.

Glad you can use them, Sarah. I have another pile growing, so if you still want them when it is enough to fill a squishy, they are yours. : )

I'm saving some up for you, too! Then I can be a part of your selvage quilt! Have you added anything to it since February? It'll be big, huge! :)
