Barbara Cain is the author of "Go Big Go Bold, Large Scale Modern Quilts" and her quilts have appeared in many magazines too. She thought it would take a long time to save enough selvages to make anything, but creating these two beautiful selvage pillows (24" square) hardly put a dent in her selvage stash. Barbara used muslin foundation strips. You can read more about this project on her blog: Modern Quilting by B. Nice job Barbara!

This would make a stunning quilt design too.

Selvage Pillow from Three Old Keys
Look at this very pretty selvage pillow from Three Old Keys! The selvages are from the 1930's style fabrics that were used on the other side of the pillow (hexies). I love how she used a row of rabbits in the print part of the fabric. It looks like a very cool selvage. Quilters are so clever. Nice job!

Leila's Selvage Pillow
This beautiful Christmas selvage pillow was made by Leila in Iowa. I like the fresh, modern look of the light turquoise and the white spaces. The rick-rack adds a nice touch, and the white dots in the center tree are perfect, the red border...oh, this is so nice! Great job, Leila!
Leila is mom to 5 daughters, and they look just like her. Family photo on her blog: Sewn.

Selvage Seat Cushion
Karen Kebinger of Connecticut made this lovely selvage chair cushion. It has ties in the back that attach to the chair, or you can use them as a handle when carrying it to meetings where the seats are uncomfortable. She got the knitted wool shawl that you see on the back of the chair for free! It had a little hole in it which she repaired. Karen came to the quilt exhibit on Sunday and we had a nice visit. She showed me this photo on her phone and I asked to show it here. Nice work, Karen!

Selvage Pillow from the Quilt Barn
The Quilt Barn in Idaho has a Hen House in back where the chicks gather to sew and take classes. I wish Idaho and Connecticut were a little closer! They also have an Etsy store with gorgeous fabrics. Nice autumn selvage pillow, Chicks!

Hand Stitched Selvage Pillow

Now she's making a selvage tumbler quilt (using batiks in the non-selvage areas). And this will also be hand stitched! Can't wait to see that! I asked her to send us a photo. :)

Red Heart Selvage Pillow
You know Lynn from http://www.infantbibliophile.blogspot.com/. She is the Mom of a 2 year old, and she blogs about children's books and craft projects. She has photos of the process of making this pillow. I like the striped fabric at the top; it looks like a blanket stitch edge. Nice job, Lynn!

Selvage Pillow Tutorial at Moda Bake Shop
-
If you are waiting for the right project to begin using your selvages, this may be it! This is very quick and easy. And it would look so good in your quilt studio...or make a nice gift for a fabric-loving friend.
-
If you don't have any selvages, no problem! Moda will hold a contest soon - and you may be the winner of a whole boatload of scraps and selvages. I'll keep you posted.
-
P.S. Not ALL the scrapbags have selvages, so check the bag before buying!

Selvage Pillow for Gail Kessler
If you have been looking at selvages lately, you probably recognize the name Gail Kessler. She is with Andover Fabrics and designed the Dimples line which is printed in a gazillion pretty colors. She has many other designs to her name as well! PA quilters, check out her quilt shop called "Ladyfingers" in Oley, PA.
I had so many of her selvages that I made her a pillow featuring them. I like this arrangement of selvages. I started by sewing the short selvages along the top of the foundation fabric. Then, I added the long selvages horizontally, starting at the bottom. When I reached the short vertical selvages, I made sure their raw edges were covered by the last horizontal selvage. I folded the last long selvage over and top-stitched to finish the pillow top. The backing is a black and white print. She displays this pillow in her studio:)
