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:
Love those stars. The red and yellow backgrounds show them off perfectly.
That now makes more sense!!!!

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