Nancy in Connecticut is making her first selvage quilt. She was thinking the florals were "too much" but then she found the sandy colored fabric for the inner border and now she loves it. I do too, especially that selvagve border. Nice job, Nancy!

Take a look at her blog: http://www.quiltingquandry.blogspot.com/. She has an excellent tutorial showing how to make a block with folded curves. Very cool.
I thought you'd be interested to know that Wednesday was a record-breaking day here at the Selvage Blog. There were 873 individual visitors! Did you know this was such a busy place? I'm so glad you are here!
It was also my 56th birthday! My husband and I had a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory here in White Plains, NY. My Mom gave me a mountain laurel shrub. I love those!

Happy Birthday, Karen! Having met you in person, it's hard to believe you're 56! It's not surprising about the blog's record breaking. It's a fun blog!
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY a day late! Sounds like you had a great day! I love the Cheesecake Factory, too, except their menu is like reading a book (it's the biggest menu I've ever seen!) AND it's so hard to pick something...but the hubby and I always have to order the avocado egg rolls as an appetizer. Then I buy a jar of the dressing you dip them in to take home. I've learned to make a pretty darn good copy cat version of them!:)
Cute quilt! Happy Birthday, Karen. Love the Cheesecake Factory! Hope you had a big piece of cheesecake! Congrats on the popularity of your blog. It's one of the first things I do every morning!
Happy Birthday karen!
Happy Birthday, Karen! I love your blog and look for an update first thing every morning. Wonderful place for inspiration!
Happy birthday and congratulations on all your virtual visitors. You're changing the world one selvage at a time!
I love the quilt, especially the diagonal selvage border.
And Happy Birthday Karen from a member of the Mountain Laurel quilt guild. It's the state flower here in PA.
Happy Birthday! Not surprising that it is so happening here...it's a great blog!
Your blog always has something interesting and sometimes amazing. It's no wonder that so many people visit.
Belated Happy Birthday Karen.
oohah - you are a month older than I am!!! I grew up in the bush (here in Oz) with very little contact with other kids and it still amazes me when I find OTHER KIDS my age!!! So happy birthday - and if you are going to be in Central Vic at the end of May there is a party at my house!
Hugs
