Last week, my new best friend, Leanne, sent me a box of selvages. i was in selvage heaven.
of course, i don't NEED more selvages.....but i did NEED selvage dots.
They were stuffed in that box. look at all those. for 2 nights i cut out dot sections and trimmed them down.
For 3 nights i made 6" selvage dot blocks. i got 32 blocks from what Leanne sent me. isn't she the greatest?
Now i had enough for 6 rows of blocks....so i HAD to put them together. i only need 9 more rows. haha gotta wait till i get more dots.
I put one row horizontally and the next row vertically. i like the look that gives.
And i am so happy that designers are now putting something on their selvages besides plain dots. actually, i don't know if it is the designers job to do that....but whoever is doing it.....i want more. see the little acorns?
This one has birds. at first i thought they were leaves....but i think they are birds. you can tell next to the birds that i pieced two pieces together to make that strip. no dots were wasted.
This one has butterflies
I had several with these little flowers
I had never seen these ribbons before.
And, my personal favorite....spiders. i LOVE those.
I may have to call this quilt the Leanne quilt.....her dots have made almost half of my blocks so far. thank you again, Leanne....you are a life saver.
