Terrific Tip Tuesday: Selvage Labels

 Selvages are great! They can tell us who designed the fabric, who manufactured it, what it is called, what inks printed it and where it's printed. And we throw it all away. A lot of folks have designed great quilts/totes/skirts/pillows/pinnies using them and I've saved mine (albeit in trash bags) with the best of intentions. But my favorite use of late is an addition to my quilt back or binding. Here I showed all the selvages of all the lines I used. This is my City Sampled Quilt from a while back.  Now we have another thing to hoard...xo LC
