Modern Selvage Quilting

If you love the idea of sewing with selvage scraps as much as we do, we suggest adding Modern Selvage Quilting to your library. Modern Selvage Quilting includes 17 edgy projects to incorporate fabric selvages.

Modern Selvage Quilting will walk you through:

• Three easy methods for sewing with selvages, plus innovative half-square triangle technique
• Waste not, want not! Use every last bit of fabric from your favorite designers
• Clever, modern designs use yardage to help stretch even a small selvage collection into something fabulous

Quilting Jet Girl shows us how she created four placemats with chambray, solids, and selvages using both narrow and wide cut selvage techniques from the book.

Armed with a new book of projects, you might find yourself taking a second look at your selvages before you cut them away from your fabric.
