Salvaging Selvages


I made 8 more 12 inch wonky log cabin blocks from selvages and now have a total of 12 with more to come. 


I used 4.5 inch sewing themed novelties for the centers. 

Not sure of the final arrangement yet but this will be a BIG quilt.  It has also become apparent that I will be able to make a couple of BIG quilts from all the selvages I have been collecting for years even though most of the selvages are all cut narrower than narrow. 

It's also apparent that this is mindless sewing that sometimes is necessary to clear the mind.  (My mind is so clear I can hear the marbles rattling around now. )


Do you know where your scraps are?
