Quilting: Selvage Scrappy Quilt
34 kudoz

Selvage Scrappy Quilt

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Funky, Retro / Vintage


Materials

scraps that everyone usually cuts off and throws away (the Selvage edge)

What was your inspiration?

To do something different - non traditional.

What are you most proud of?

That is my first "green" quilt

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It is extremely easy. Just make sure to cut off enough so you can see what the fabric was (at least one inch but can be as thick as you want). My mother had a bunch of old fabric that she just didn't want anymore so that was a big help and I made those ones real thick.

I'd been told that selveges were difficult to quilt because of the very tight weave. Did you have any problems with quilting this?

I am sort of a beginner quilter, I've made this quilt top from left over strips of fabrics from other projects. I have no idea how I am going to quilt it. It would probably be easier to tie it. Any suggestions?
