Selvage Stars

Selvage Stars

Blocks finish at 12 inches. 
My goal is to make six stars a month until I have a total of 56.
I'm alternating red and yellow backgrounds. 

It's kind of fun to read what shows up in some of those itty bitty selvages - Bees Knees, Bloodshot Eyes, Sweet Dreams, Scrapbag...


Last year I worked on taming my crumbs. This year I want to tame the selvages and strings.  I'm working on a variety of string and selvage projects and hope to work on them a little each week and post about progress on Fridays.

    Just re read (after it published!) my comment. Should read:

    That now makes more sense!!!!

    Cathy, are you sewing the selvages to a base?

    Those look very striking. I'll be interested to see the quilt grow. Thank you for linking up to the Peacock Party.
