Some aqua selvages |
Goal number nine on my July
list was to make the squares in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month which is aqua.

A few more aqua selvages |
I pulled my aqua selvages--there were more than I remembered. I selected enough to make four sets of four squares.

Four sets of completed squares |
Laying out the selvages always takes time. I glue baste them, press them and then stitch next to the selvage edge. This time, I noted how long it took me from selecting the selvages to stitching the edges. It took me about two hours.

What fun fabulous blocks , Terry. A great use of selvages. Have a wonderful day and Happy quilting.
Those are some fun selvages, Terry! I really like how you're putting them together. Is the glue basting helping them to stay lined up for sewing? I haven't done much glue basting, although I have a friend who swears by it for her binding. She does it before the final hand sewing of her bindings.
These are so fun! Do you have a set size you cut your selvedges at when removing them from yardage?
What a fun way to use your selvedges!!! Janice@A Positive Outlook
