selvedge: (from german) self + edge. The point of where one's own welfare is likely to begin
I used the selvedge from Freddy Moran's fabric for this tote bag
and in this, my favorite, tote bag
but I never thought about ONLY using selvedges for a quilt until Judy http://wildirishrowsquilting.blogspot.com/ starting collecting them and I thought, why not?
This weekend, as I sewed with different groups, I made ten of these blocks and LOVE THEM!
Simple, pure, fun.
One gal commented that she couldn't believe I had nothing else to do except this.
THIS?
Really? (hee-hee)
As a matter of fact, yes, I do have other projects, but this weekend I needed to do THIS, work with selvedges and contemplate being on the edge...on the verge of a more authentic self.
What an incredible idea! I would never have imagined that selvedges could look so attractive.
