Selvage Quarter Log Cabin Top

It's a top!
Quarter Log Cabin
50 x 60

I used the longest, widest and most colorful selvages to make the 10.5 inch blocks. I wanted to make bigger blocks and more blocks but most of my selvages were not long enough or colorful enough. So this is where I ended up. 

 




And sew on...

Beautiful. I'm saving my selvedges - not got enough yet :)

The spiderweb print as a constant really pulls this together!

Wow, this is different. Almost looks like a Bento box quilt.

Love the spider web print as the base. It looks like a bottomless pit with rainbows coming out. Wonderful! ;^)

Don’t know why I came in as Anonymous. My comment mentions the Bento Box similarity .

Thanks for the super idea! I have a huge pile of selvages - actually, three tote bags full! This would be ideal for them. I love the fabric you used for the centers, too, and I think I may use the skeleton fabric I have been hoarding for mine. It's one of those fabrics you hate to cut into!

Another great finish! You really have a good eye for using your scraps.

I love your layout of these stunning blocks. I've always been fascinated by coming across bloggers who've made selvedge quilts, I wonder when this all began - perhaps the very early days when every last scrap had to be used.

What a great idea for using selvages, and especially with the spider web fabric! Are these all of your own selvages?
