I'm still pushing the selvages....trying to get a lot of them used up. here is something i did with some neutrals.
I also added a border with selvages. i put this on a muslin backing, too. it's much easier that way and stays in place and together. i cut the muslin 6" wide and the selvages into 6" pieces. then after they were all stitched on i trimmed it all down to 5.5". easy
Here is the back. i used a panto on it. the quilt is about 80x82. again...not a plan. i just stopped making blocks when i got tired of making them and messed with them until i came up with this design.
Now i have to come up with another 'plan' (LOL) for more selvages. perhaps purple.....or pink.
It's just plain muslin blocks with selvages on half of it...corner to corner. the only difference is that i used the same selvage for the whole block.
Had i actually HAD a plan before i started.....hahahahahahaha.....i might have changed the value of some of the selvages so they wouldn't blend in so much. just how do you remind yourself to have a plan. i think i'm just too old to change my ways...been flying by the seat of my pants for entirely too long. and once you see the picture you see how you could have set the blocks better.

I used a panto called Star Swirl. i use it a lot...it goes quickly and covers a lot of ground in a little time.
