I cut my selvages 1 inch and maybe a little more if I really liked the print. Some of my selvages were less but not less than 3/4 inch. The thinner the strip the more it takes to make a block. I also added a couple ribbons in the block for interest. The ribbon seem to make it straight and to stabilize it.
I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

GREAT Tip!! Tonight I'm working on a top that is close to being done... not really THAT close.. but easy mindless block sewing. Also see my fused Oct Bunny hill! http://quiltmashup.com/index.php/topic,133.0.html |

Okay, if ribbons are going to be involved as well . . .this sounds really fun. I may just have to wiggle some room into my plans for next year  |

I am so bummed. I threw out all my selveges when the grands out grew Grammy sewing. Used them to stabilize shoulder seams, etc. Now I have none. I'm going to try and resist this one as well as the Vicksburg blocks. Geeshe! I really don't need any more projects. You all are so tempting, I fail more than resist. LOL This is such a fun group, but I may have to drop out all together. Just too much temtation and not enough time. Who won that stocking give away anyway??? |

Super cool Dyline! I'm going to try and find a red when I'm teaching this weekend. I have one I can use, but I'd like something almost solid... and brigter than the one I thought I'd use.
so I'll be questing for red!

I have already made 2 blocks. I LOVE THEM! I had to make myself put them away so I could get other things done today. I am hoping to make 2 more tonight.

I cut my Kona at 9 1/2" for a 9" finished square. I would like a bigger quilt. I am thinking for my bed.
