Thank you so much! An elderly lady just gave me quilting supples as she was leaving her home. I received a garbage bag loaded with salvages amongst beautiful batiks and unfinished quilt blocks. I love this design! Yours is the first video on my search for selvage sewing projects! p.S. I’ve seen for 50 years and NEVER saved a selvage! SMH!
Beautiful pattern, love it both ways, thx. I made a Kaffe Fasset strip quilt years ago & bordered it w/selvages. I h/b saving salvages for 5 or 6 yrs & have a huge bag full so it’s time for a 2nd one. ❤
The “dots” are called registration marks. They allow the printers to line up the various screens so the colors that make up the design all align correctly. I’ve made this quilt. It’s helpful to make yourself a template to draw the kite shape on your foundation. I would think the adhesive makes your finished units stiff. I used the background fabric (like your red fabric) for my foundation.
Very fantastic n to-the-point video. The beauty of variety in savages got enhanced due to that piece of batique used. It also helped in creating so many designs. Cannot wait to try this one. Thank u taking efforts to create this video n for sharing with us.
I cut my selvages 1-1/2 inches wide because I want to see a good bit of the fabric they were attached to. Love the spiderweb arrangement, made one using every acid/nile/vile/apple green in my stash, and it remains one of my favorite quilts even though it's twenty years old.
So very awesome. I don't have alot of selvage but I working on it. Love this b/c it can be more than a quilt. A table topper, hot plate w/batting added & wall art, etc. So fun...👍👍👍
Awesome! I absolutely love this!! I have been sewing for years and never even thought to do this. Just think how may selvage pieces I would have! I would make an individual pattern/template for the "star" pieces.
I think a template would be helpful for sure. You’re reminding me I need to get back to this project. At the time I couldn’t do any more because I ran out of selvages but now I have lots.
This is just brilliant. It doesn’t have to be SELvedges, it could be strips of scraps. I love the milleflores-type pattern the round version forms. Thank you for this!!! Ps those dots on the selvedges correspond to the colors used in the fabric pattern (and I think the quantity of the color as well, most to least, but not sure )
Yes about the dots color and amount. That's what I heard years ago. I'm a big fan of spider blocks and words and colors. I never saw quotes or designs on selvedge...that is cool. Your design is beautiful.
Love this! I had once thought of collecting the salvages…I think I’ll start also. I’ll look in my scrap bag, hopefully I don’t have to start from scratch.
My local fabric/quilt store keeps a stash of selvages that patrons and students donate for anyone to use. They REALLY pile up! Maybe suggest that at your local fabric store! ❤
I have found that a light weight iron on interfaces makes light weight mshirts more manageable. I do memory quilts and I want to use all of the fabrics the family provides. The interfaci g is my friend.😊
@@mostlyquilts1386 no kidding Heidi. Not many would think to even use those edges. Next quilt I am definitely saving those little edges. Thanks again.😊
@@mostlyquilts1386 Hi there!! I've got some selvages here to send to you. How the best way? If you are interested, anyway... No hard feelings! Just an idea to help you. Keep well and safe. regards from London. x
@@mostlyquilts1386 Thank you for getting back to me! I showed my mom this video and she kept saying how "creative and talented" you are! Thanks for giving me the measurements too, I appreciate it!
I would really love to see how you would do this with thin strips of fabric! I don’t think you would want that glue inside a quilt? And how big would your squares have to be to allow for seam allowances? I will keep watching to see if you come up with a plan! Thanks for all your videos, they are very inspiring
Hi Lisa- the fusible interfacing is made for fabric so it will be fine inside a quilt. Just made sure to use very thin interfacing. To use regular fabric instead of selvage, cut your fabric into strips and sew together with 1/4th inch, then sew onto the middle piece and trim to be the correct size. Happy quilting and thanks for watching!
That was AWESOME!! Will you be making a quilt? If so how does that work with batting and the long arm? I can't wait to see the finish project! Now I have to keep my salvages! 🤣
I am going to be making a quilt. I don’t long arm my quilts, I do “stitch in the ditch” on my regular machine. I’ll do the same here and probably stitch around each triangle piece. If you prefer the long arm, you could probably do it in the same way as a regular pieced quilt. Thanks for watching!
Pronounced 'sel-vij (as in 'sell' or 'cell'). You are salvaging the selvedges. 😂 Hope this helps. ❤ Also, if interested, spelled selvage in US English or selvedge in British English. Fun facts.
Would you be interested in people sending you their "salvage ends?" I'd be happy to do so. BTW, I'm a doctor's daughter, so everything in my house is practically sterile! Seriously.
There is a difference between salvage and selvage: SAL-VAGE is the rescue of a ship, its crew or its cargo from a hazardous situation. It is pronounced with an “a” in the first syllable. SELVAGE is the edge of a woven fabric, where the weft (side-to-side) threads run around the warp (top to bottom) threads, creating a finished edge. British English spelling is SELVEDGE. In sewing or weaving, it is never pronounced with an “a” sound, only with an “e” sound. On Pinterest there is a stunning dress made solely from selvedges ❤…I have made only coasters and other small things.

Oooooh my gosh, that is fabulous!
The salvages are waaaaay cool! Love the mix of color~ Can hardly wait to see it finished🌸
Thanks Coreen! I’ve got to save a lot more selvages but it’ll be fun!
Very fantastic n to-the-point video. The beauty of variety in savages got enhanced due to that piece of batique used. It also helped in creating so many designs. Cannot wait to try this one.
Thank u taking efforts to create this video n for sharing with us.
Thanks Madhavi, so happy to hear you’re going to give it a try. Let me know how it goes!
It looks like a kaleidoscope. Pretty
Now I have to save my selvage. I love the second design that appears. T y aks for this video!
I cut my selvages 1-1/2 inches wide because I want to see a good bit of the fabric they were attached to. Love the spiderweb arrangement, made one using every acid/nile/vile/apple green in my stash, and it remains one of my favorite quilts even though it's twenty years old.
I love it!!
SELVAGES are awesome!
Yes!
So very awesome. I don't have alot of selvage but I working on it. Love this b/c it can be more than a quilt. A table topper, hot plate w/batting added & wall art, etc. So fun...👍👍👍
Such an awesome idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Laura, happy quilting!

Super cool idea!! I love this.😊
I believe you could use the Missouri Star Quilt Company periwinkle template for 10” squares to cut your center piece.
This is just brilliant. It doesn’t have to be SELvedges, it could be strips of scraps. I love the milleflores-type pattern the round version forms. Thank you for this!!! Ps those dots on the selvedges correspond to the colors used in the fabric pattern (and I think the quantity of the color as well, most to least, but not sure )
Rosemary- that is so true! You could make this block with regular fabric strips for sure! Thanks for watching.

Yay for collecting selvages! I did have to start from scratch, which was kind of disappointing, but they add up fast!
My local fabric/quilt store keeps a stash of selvages that patrons and students donate for anyone to use. They REALLY pile up! Maybe suggest that at your local fabric store! ❤
These look great!
Thanks Michelle!!!
Terrific idea...will start saving the selvedges. Thank you. From India.
Wow, all the way from India, very cool! Enjoy starting your collection!

So Pretty!!😊❤️
Thanks! And so easy!
Wow, that is awesome! No need to even waste salvages.
I think I’ve become selvage obsessed. I can-not-stop! Haha. Have fun collecting and using yours Kathy!
@@mostlyquilts1386 no kidding Heidi. Not many would think to even use those edges. Next quilt I am definitely saving those little edges. Thanks again.😊
Really interesting and inspiring. Maybe as you get more done, collected, you could update us. Might try to catch up and follow along.
I will absolutely keep you updated! Thanks Beth!
❤️❤️❤️
wow!!!! i love this idea!!!!!!! Keep collecting and please, let us know when you finish it!!! xxx
Will do! Thanks for watching!

How generous Arnaldo! I don’t accept items but I really appreciate your thoughtfulness! Happy quilting!
This is really GORGEOUS! I love the circles! Thank you for sharing! What are the measurements of the triangles?
Thanks so much Paula! The squares I started with are 11 inches and the diagonal side of the triangle is about 15 inches or a little bigger.
@@mostlyquilts1386 Thank you for getting back to me! I showed my mom this video and she kept saying how "creative and talented" you are! Thanks for giving me the measurements too, I appreciate it!
Thank you to your mom! What a compliment!
Do you have a video on how to sew the finished pieces together? I sew love this idea thanks for sharing

when a towel tag is torn i use selvages for a new one
Doesn’t the interfacing make the quilt stiff?
Please say /sell/vij
Im seeing a tree skirt.

Hi Eleanor- thank you so much for the offer but I have more selvages than I can use. Thank for watching!
