A peek into my love of fabric, piecing, and quilting!
Here's a quilt I made years ago when I cut my stash into 1" strips. That action inspired lots of good quilts. I love this one! See all the fans in the border? View pattern for making fans. These fabrics are mostly oldish prints. Think: Lucy Ricardo's dresses. I like how the black print looks with all these colors.
A selvage is the tightly woven edge of a fabric that keeps it from raveling. It also serves as the manufacturer's label, listing the name of the fabric line, designer, and year of production. I don't know how Barb guessed my favorite, but I’m thrilled with the quilt she sent me. These particular selvages came from reproductions of traditional fabrics spanning 1800-1900, also known as "Civil War Repros." The backing fabric features cartouches of Civil War battle scenes. A big thanks to all who contributed selvages for this project, and of course, to Barb, for her inspired use of them. Thank you for including me in this string of friendship quilts. I adore mine!

Anya of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania just finished this selvage quilt. She used the quilt-as-you-go method, and she doesn't recommend it. "Too many issues" she says. I'll take her word for it. Another interesting fact is that she used the selvages from 72 yards of fabric to make this quilt. I had no idea! (Her friends contributed selvages, of course.) Nice job, Anya. You can read more about this project on her blog: http://www.hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/ Also see her group blog: www.randomactsofstitching.blogspot.com.

As promised a little tutorial so you can make your own selvage spools quilt. Start by sorting your selvages by color. Press them flat and trim so they have a nice straight raw edge. The wider you trim them the more fabric you'll be able to show. I cut mine from 1 to 2 1/2" wide. I like to show the fabric! You'll need a paper foundation to make your spool. I made all sorts of different sizes. This one is 4" x 8". It's fun to have short, tall, skinny, and fat spools. Experiment with different sizes! I recycle paper from my computer for foundations. Audition your selvages. Cut them a bit longer than the foundation. Start at the bottom with a non selvage piece. The cute part of the selvage will disappear in the seam allowance so there's no need to waste a selvage. Stack the selvages in the order you'd like them to appear and with about the amount of fabric you'd like to reveal. Place the non-selvage strip on the bottom so it extends just a tish over the paper. Secure it with a dab of glue if you'd like. Place the first selvage on top of that strip revealing some of that strip's fabric. Reduce your stitch length for paper piecing...about 1.5 on my machine and sew about 1/16th of an inch from the edge of the selvage. I run the inside edge of my 1/4" foot along the selvage edge and it works perfectly. Continue adding selvages in the same way until the paper is covered. It should look something like this. Flip the foundation over so the paper is on top. Use the edges of the paper to trim the edges. Remove the paper foundation from the back. Cut two 1 1/2" by 8" strips for the sides and sew one to each side and press. Choose fabric for the top of the spools. I coordinated the tops with the selvage color. Cut two 2 1/2" x 6" strips and sew to the top and bottom. I cut angles into some of my tops just for fun, but that's my style. You can leave yours nice and straight if you'd like. To put the spools together I simply lined up the bottoms and sewed background fabric to the tops of the spools so that they were the same height, arranged them like I wanted them and sewed them together. There are so many arrangements that could be done with these blocks. I'd sure love to see what you come up with. One little note...for the shorter and wider spools I increased the width of the side strips so the spools would look proportional. Play with those kinds of things and make yours look like you want them to. Any questions, just pop me an email. Enjoy!

A peek into my love of fabric, piecing, and quilting!
Instructions Are Included for a Star Made from Selvage Blocks! Have you admired quilts and other projects made with selvages but wondered how to get started? Basic blocks are quite simple to make and can be incorporated in many types of projects. Melissa Corry, from Happy Quilting, has created a great tutorial showing how to …
While I have not had the chance yet to meet Riel Nason in person, I have seen one of her quilts in real life - at Quilt Canada - and it was fantastic. Riel is creative and playful in her designs, and reading about them on her blog - The Q and the U - has always made me smile. Riel is a Canadian, living in a small town on Canada's east coast in New Brunswick. When Riel asked me if I would share a review of her new book, Modern Selvage Quilting - I jumped at the chance. Riel is not just a quilter, she is also a published fiction author too. Her quilting book is full of her own voice and her own stories. It is a pleasure to read and funny too. All the photos in this post are from the book. Riel points out that selvages are just another kind of fabric scrap. Modern Selvage Quilting provides you with advice on how to save your selvages and how to select and use them in projects. Riel provides three different methods for effectively piecing the selvages and each is clever, fully illustrated and easy to execute. There are instructions for several projects in the book as well, from pincushions to pillows to placemats to quilts. Riel shares many tips as well, all of which focus on using selvages easily and effectively. While Riel gave me a copy of her book for this review, I would have bought my own copy if she had not. If you are interested in selvage quilting, this is the book to get. Now I have to admit to not saving many selvages, although I have a few jars of the prettiest ones. But, armed with this new book, I might just have to change my practices - the projects are just so appealing. Riel asked me which quilt I would make if I had an unlimited supply of selvages. I have to say that I am in love with that giant star and it might just be the push I need to save my selvages. As part of the blog hop introducing Modern Selvage Quilting, I get to give away one copy of the book. If the winner is in the U.S.A. they will get a hard copy and if the winner is from the rest of the world they will receive an e-copy. To win, leave me one comment letting me know if you save your selvages or might start doing so and what you have or plan to make with them. The give away will be open to enter until 10 pm MDT on May 22 and I will draw a winner randomly after that. Please, please, if you want to win a copy of this lovely book, make sure that I can find you. If you are not sure that your email is connected to your comments, put it in the comment too, or your instagram handle or your blog location. If I can't find the winner I will draw again. You should check out the rest of the book reviews on the blog hop: May 10 Riel at C&T Publishing Blog May 11 Cindy at Live a Colorful Life May 12 Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl May 13 Diane at Butterfly Threads Quilting May 16 Krista at Poppyprint May 17 Casey at The Studiolo May 18 Leanne at She Can Quilt May 19 Sandy at Upstairs Hobby Room May 20 Mel at The Quilting Room with Mel May 21 Riel at The Q and the U Best, Leanne
So... I might have a scrappy little problem. I'm obsessed with scraps! This is what my dining room looked like yesterday as I cut out the last 21 Farmer's Wife blocks. I was using mostly modern scraps and Kona white. Anything smaller than a fat quarter was up for grabs, which means every bin and box and pile came out to play. Once I finished cutting out the blocks, I kept cutting! All the smaller pieces were cut into useful sizes: 5", 3.5", 2.5" and 2" squares, and 2.5" and 2" strips. I feel so much better now! When I brought all the bins back downstairs, I came across my selvedge basket. I hopped over to my Pinterest scrap quilts board and found this awesome pattern by Karen Griska. It took me a couple of hours to sew these two blocks last night. I love them! I have some Kona Tomato coming from Fabric.com tomorrow, so I can continue this new project. It will be my entry in the RIMQG Log Cabin Challenge. Then there is Wild & Goosey. I follow the Quiltville Open Studio page on facebook and it seems like everyone is working on these blocks. I'm going to make mine with batiks. I feel the need to control the scrappiness, so I'm alternating the warm and cool colors. I just had to piece two sections before we left for church this morning. I spent the entire afternoon cutting out enough pieces (1425!) for 25 blocks which will make a sweet wall hanging. And, no. I didn't make a dent in my scraps! I'm ready to sew my way through the big game! I'll be linking up my scrappy projects here:
In September I shared this quilt finish. For want of a name, it's my "Selvedges Quilt" that finished at 59" X 72". I designed the block. Several blog-followers let me know they'd like a tutorial to make this quilt, so here you are! Supplies Lots and lots of selvedges! I used approximately 560 selvedge strips - only the parts with color, text, and color windows - to make 80 rectangle units, 5" X 9½" (unfinished). Scrap fabrics, approximately 3½" X 6" for print pinwheels Solid white fabric: 12 - 5" X 5" squares 18 - 5" X 9½" rectangles 60-degree ruler card stock, for a template Assuming you've never cut and saved fabric selvages... Each selvedge strip should be cut 1/2" beyond where the selvedge ends and the print begins. So most of my selvedges are approximately 1"-wide strips. I've saved them for years - more than 15 years - so I had (and still have) lots to work with. Prepare Selvages If needed, press selvedges. Sort by color. Six to 8 selvages are needed for each rectangle-shaped unit, so 24 to 32 selvages for one four-unit pinwheel. Lay the selvedge strip on a cutting mat and select the section with the most color, text, or color windows (those little round circles of color). Cut roughly 10" to 10½" long until you have a total of 24 to 32 selvedges of one color family. This color range runs from pinks to rose. Sew Selvedge Strips With the finished side of a selvage strip on the left, position the finished side of another selvedge strip on top, leaving approximately ¼" print showing on the under strip. Using a straight sewing machine stitch, edgestitch along the left side of the upper strip to join two strips. With the finished side of a selvage strip on the left, position a third selvedge strip on top of the right selvedge strip, again allowing ¼" of print to show. Stitch along the edge of the third selvedge to join. Continue to add strips to create a rectangle of selvedges that's 5" to 5½" wide. Press. Trim the unit to measure 5" X 9½". Note: If necessary, it's perfectly acceptable to piece together two selvedge pieces to come up with a 10" to 10½" length. Make Selvedge-Triangle Unit Position a 60-degree ruler along the bottom edge of the selvedge rectangle. Align the left side of the ruler with the left corner. Note that I chose to arrange all my rectangles "left-readable." It probably doesn't matter which direction you position your selvedges; just be consistent. Cut. The triangle piece that's removed can be your template to cut the print fabric that will become one-fourth of a color-coordinated center pinwheel. Cut print fabric flush with the bottom and right side of the selvedge triangle, but be sure to add 1/4" along the top/long side. After making one like this, I got smart and made a paper template that I taped to the back of my ruler. I used this template to cut the bottom and right sides... ... and made a second paper template, positioning it to a ruler to align the top/long side of the unit with the ruler's edge. This sure made cutting easier. The selvedge-triangle unit is pieced this way. With right sides together, align the raw edges of the cut selvedge piece and print triangle. Allow 1/4" overlap at the top and bottom of the seam. Use a ¼" seam to join. Press seam allowance toward triangle. The selvedge unit should have a ¼" seam allowance at the triangle end. Completed selvedge unit measures 5" x 9½". Choose selvedge colors to continue making four selvedge units using four different prints for triangles. When you have enough units to begin playing on your design wall, you'll quickly see that though this is the layout you want... ... the actual block to be sewn together looks like this. At this point, I auditioned different solid fabrics as center squares: two grays. I settled on white. Piece Blocks With Inset Seam Assemble the block in counter-clockwise order. Refer to diagram below. On the 5" X 5" center square, mark one corner 1/4" from two raw edges. Position selvedge Unit 1 in the "readable" (horizontal) direction, with the triangle at the right end. With right sides together, place the 5" x 5" square along the lower left sides of the non-triangle end of the selvedge unit, aligning the square with the left and bottom of the selvedge unit. With the square on top, stitch from the 1/4" mark to the end of the block. Press seam allowance toward selvedge Unit 1. With right sides together, position Unit 2 along seam 2 of the square, aligning the triangle end of Unit 2 with the edge of Unit 1, and the bottom end of Unit 2 with the bottom of the square. Sew a 1/4" seam along the length of Unit 2. Press seam allowance toward Unit 2. In the same way, add Unit 3 to side 3 of the square. Press seam allowance toward Unit 3. Add Unit 4 to side 4 of the square, being sure to move Unit 1 away from the seam. Do not sew over Unit 1. Press seam allowance toward Unit 4. Sew the short 5th seam to join Unit 4 to Unit 1. Press seam allowance toward Unit 1. From the back, the block looks like this, with seam allowances pressed toward selvedge units. Each block is 13½" X 13½" with a plain square center that finishes at 4½". Plain Rectangles I could have finished the quilt layout with more selvedges, adding 5" by 5" selvedge squares to the outside edges, but instead chose to add plain rectangles so the design seemed more "floaty." In the same manner as piecing blocks, mark ¼" on two ends of a solid 5" X 9½" rectangle. Sew inset seams to join. Join blocks to complete the quilt top. Press seams open. I chose to pin-baste my quilt, using rulers for domestic machine quilting, and embellishing with big stitch hand quilting. I used my favorite binding technique: No Tails Binding: Mitered Corners by Machine - found here, and here, and a PDF here - to complete my quilt. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and making something fun with your collection of selvedges. Be sure to let me know how it goes!

Wowzers! This is Teri Murdock's latest creation, "Ode to Cigar Silks." You can see how to make one of these in my book "Quilts from the Selvage Edge," but Teri has added her own improvement with the red triangles in the corners. I think it looks terrific! Nice job, Teri! She's planning on entering it in the South Carolina State Fair.
Selvage quilt by Chicken Julie http://chickenjulie.blogspot.com/ Selvages (or selvedges in English English) are the finished edges of the yardage. In screened fabric the selvage usually has information about the print, such as name, company and colors used in the various screens to get the multi-colored print. In the selvage above eight colors are indicated by the dots. Sometimes there is a number too. The dot is the traditional shape for color indication. At Moda we use that familiar strips of dots as a logo. ..... Riel Nason Making Every Scrap Count Riel at The Q and The U blog showed this quilt pieced of just the dots and the numbers cut from selvages. http://quispamsisquilter.blogspot.com/2012/03/making-every-scrap-count-selvage-wall.html riel Spider Webs from Squares and Triangles http://www.squaresandtriangles.com/selvages-spider-webs-and-dresdens-oh-my-100 Selvage quilters make the most of everything. Elena sells selvage quilts on Etsy They become selvage collectors A dress pieced of selvages by Jodi at Ricrac in 2008 http://vintagericrac.blogspot.com/2008/10/big-selvedge-project.html You collectors have probably noticed that Moda has done some innovating in their color indicators. In my Morris Modernized line we used a Voysey bird instead of a dot. We pull out an image from a print in the collection. The more colors, the more birds.

Sanna och jag bytte tjänster! Hon bakade bullar åt mig och jag fållade hennes bonad. Visst är de härliga de här Stadkants-arbetena? Har ni några? Några trollsländor i lace är enda dekorationen, men vem vet hur det kommer att se ut om ett tag? Hennes arbeten är en lång skapande process och rätt som det är så kanske det broderas dit lite pärlor... Det händer inte så mycket i mitt Paradis just nu! Jag har en städning att göra där inne, men har inte förmått mig till det än!

Aleesa Kobi's beautiful new selvage quilt is called "On Edge." It measures 62" x 83." It was something of a family project as her mother-in-law contributed her selvages and her husband Jeff Rehwaldt of Deerwood Quilting in Kasson, MN machine quilted it! You don't hear that every day! Jeff used the Wind Swirls pattern by Dave Kapka. The quilting thread is So Fine Pearl. For foundations, Aleesa used recycled dryer papers. What a good idea. Nice work, Leesa!

This selvage block was made by Amy Friend of During Quiet Time. It looks like 16 small blocks put together with additional long selvages. Nice job, Amy!
Have you been saving your selvages?? jodi from Pleasant Home has been finishing up ufo's and i had the pleasure of quilting this one for her. Simple 2" cross hatching... very effective, don't you think?? jodi has a fabulous blog...check it out. I have a box full of selvages... what am i waiting for?? oh...and check out jodi's new tote made from selvage blocks....here ....love!
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.

Edda in Kalamazoo, MI donated this selvage quilt to the Seita Scholars Program at Western Michigan University. This is one of 3 selvage quilts that she made. Her group donated 106 quilts. Wow! See Quilt #2 tomorrow, and #3 on Monday. Terrific job, Edda!!
Becky in Indiana made this beautiful selvage quilt using her favorite blues and Civil War selvages. It's her first selvage project! It was machine quilted by Joanne Lendaro. (You read about her here yesterday.) Great Job, Becky! And Joanne too!
Debbie in Jerusalem just finished piecing this wonderful selvage hexagon quilt top. I love the rainbow effect. Now she's looking for suggestions about how to quilt it. Debbie also has a new grandson! You can see both on her blog. If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll remember the "Show us your selvage stash" series. Back then, Debbie's stash consisted of just one lonely selvage. That's progress!
