I have been cutting off the selvedges of my fabric for awhile. I have a couple of things I would like to make with them and this is the start of one of them. The sample for the Exploring Color Class I will be teaching in February is a notebook with a Dresden plate flower on the front and the petals are the color wheel. Sew, since this will be a quilting journal, I thought it would be fun to use the strips for it. I then wrote sewing/quilting themed sayings on the sides of the manufacturing data. Seriously-is that not cute? Ha! I will have to make a solid cover as well so potential students won't be turned away because they didn't save 50 yards of B&W selvedges.
I also sewed 30 more block number 1 for the Bonnie hunter quilt. I have decided to do half of the assignment which should give me enough for a nice fall table topper or wall hanging. 3"inch squares are killing me-there is no room for error and I have noticed that I will lose a few points on clue #1.
I forgot to share what I got at the Back Country Quilters Christmas part White Elephant exchange-this baby was traded 2x before I got to take it home. A very nice White Elephant I must say.

Can't wait to see the cover.
I would be fresh out of luck on the selvedges. I trim them to be as skinny as possible. No printed fabric left.
What a cool idea for the journal cover! Love the prints with writing.
You got a fabulous white elephant. I'm sure it will be well used. :)
I will look forward to seeing this quilt top . Nice colours
