Selvage Quilt by Susan Holman

Susan Holman made this very clever selvage quilt called "Gone Fabric Shopping." It measures 67" x 67." This quilt was recently exhibited at the Friendship Star Quilters quilt show in Montgomery County, MD. This is what Susan had to say about her quilt:

"The book "Quilts from the Selvedge Edge" inspired me to make this quilt. I have always saved the selvedge edge that had writing or dots so I've got 17 years worth of fabric collecting to cut from. This quilt barely scratched the surface... Machine pieced. Machine quilted."

Thank you to Amy of the Calico Cat for sharing this quilt with us. You can see her beautiful baby and her quilting projects on her blog at: www.thecalicocat.blogspot.com.

Japanese Selvages With Unique Color Windows!

Take a look at the color windows on these Japanese selvages! Rather than the usual little dots, these selvages have little birds and houses. What a great idea. These would look so good in a selvage quilt!

I wonder if the fabric manufacturers will make their selvages more interesting as they see quilters featuring them in quilts.
