Brown selvage blocks

The box for the brown selvages was so stuffed.....i could not get anything else in there. so, it was time to use some of them up. i spent the last few days making 10" blocks. i made 56 of them. how can it look like i did not even make a dent in that box? i just don't understand it.

There are 4 different designs in the middles....from the Cabin Cats line of fabrics. there are black birds...


There are crocks...


There are hat boxes...


And, there are kittens in a basket...too cute.


They are 10" finished and i have figued out how i want to set them....just need to get them pieced together...maybe throw a brown border on there...and quilt it up. hopefully, soon. i am leaving them on the shelf so i see them and get inspired to finish them. hahahahaha

And since all these 56 blocks didn't even use an appreciable amount of brown selvages.....i am now piecing a brown and pink selvage quilt.

And...while i was piecing these...i thought of yet another design idea. so, i have pulled more selvage pieces and more blocks for the middles and cut out the base fabrics. will start those soon, too.

I love selvages.

The green selvage box is getting really full, too. that will have to be the next color used. i swear they reproduce in the night. i better get on that...i'll talk to you...

Later
