Purple Selvedges from Romany Quilting

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for August has just been announced as purple. Luckily I had rummaged through my bag of selvedge strips and gathered up any purple ones I could find, so I was ready to quickly make this block, in time for this week’s linky party. Just a few purple strips, but enough to stitch up a purple selvedge block.

And here is my collection of selvedge blocks I’ve stitched so far. Don’t they look nice all together. I’m aiming to make them into a tote bag when I get all ...

Oh Scrap! : Selvage Progess from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I found another scrappy project that needed some blue blocks made July.

I am still working on sewing up all of my saved selvages. This last week, I worked on completing the teal/turquoise and blue strips.

I decided to put them all up on the wall. I still have to trim them to length, finish the two purple strips and then add the background fabric. I am so close to a finish on this one.

...and done with saving selvages in the future!

What scrappy goodness have you been working on!

Happy and Cheery! from Quilting Studio Adventures

I know I'm getting better. I am in love with my current project. Since it requires minimal cutting and simple sewing, I can do it. Throughout the years I've seen various posts/projects using the selvages of fabrics. They are interesting, tightly bound, and provide info for reordering. One of my Sew Powerful buddies, Shirley Utz, posted a picture of making fabric from selvages just I was cutting selvages to make a quilt backing. So I've been going through my stash - under the guise of reorganizagting - and cutting off the selvages. This picture shows the 12" blocks ...

Oh Scrap! : Green is the Color for May from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Looks like I will be getting out my green scraps this month. Dark green is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for May.

But before I get out my green scraps, I thought I would finish up sewing my green selvages. I already had the lime green started but I spent this week finishing all the other greens.

To date I have 6 colors finished. I haven't decided if I am going to just add blues and purples or if I am going to add some neutrals like black, gray and brown to the mix. I certainly have enough selvages ...

Oh Scrap! : Insanity from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

First, sorry if I didn't respond to some of your comments. For some reason comment notifications quit coming to my inbox.
I think I have fixed the problem and it looks like everything is back to normal!

A couple years ago, I decided to start saving fabric selvages. I have been tossing them in a big laundry basket and not really giving them any thought. Now I am not one to store things I never use - so while I am stuck at home, I decided to get them out and see what I could make with them.

I decided ...

Selvedge Quilt Finished from Romany Quilting

This is my first year taking part in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and I decided to make two different blocks each month, one of them being selvedge Asterisk blocks. Each month I stitched two selvedge blocks in the suggested colour, except for black and dark brown, which I didn't fancy. After sewing the blocks together, moving them from here to there till I was happy with the colour placement, I pinned the top to a fleecy backing and stitched in the ditch between the blocks for stability. Then I decided on spiral quilting across the quilt. I was a ...
