I've been sewing with selvages again. I really enjoy it but probably spend way too much time admiring each one. It's like a tiny trip down memory lane, remembering where they each came from and what they were used for.
I had a general idea what I wanted to quilt to look like, but wasn't entirely sure. I've had fun just making the blocks and moving them around on the design wall. I've got one border figured out but now I'm debating additional border options.
This might be why my quilts are always so dang BIG. Because I can't seem to stop, and I am not capable of coming up with a plan ahead of time. Oh well, at least it's always a surprise, and I love surprises.
Enjoy every stitch!

ReplyDeleteGreat use of selvages. And I have the same disease. Just can't stop adding on to my quilts.:)
ReplyDeleteYour salvage blocks are very interesting and looks like you've been collecting for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteStrings are so addicting to me. I've just finished 2, and almost got a 3rd string piece finished. And have 3 more in the works.
