    Beautiful pillow. I don't remember how I found your blog, but now I have visions of something made from selvages in my future. I like to see the items you post to compare what the look of using less and/or more fabric with the selvage. This pillow is a great example of using more fabric. Thanks!

    Just finding Karen's blog in the last few weeks has me collecting selvages now. I look forward to making my first selvage project, the problem is having patience to collect enough selvages to make a bigger project like a pillow.

    I'll start small - to use the selvages I've collected thus far.

  29. AnonymousMarch 18, 2009 at 10:19 AM

    I have started collecting selvages to do my first project....

    Found a Moda scrap bag at a quilt show and bought it. I think you mentioned these in a previous post. I ended up with 16 edges with the printing info (out of 42 strips). The other strips are also selvages, but without the printing. I still am thinking that I will use them in the project

    But, I also got 11 2" strips and 32 2.5" strips (33" long). Not bad for $10.

    But, I sure could use the pillow for inspiration!
