Wanna See Some Interesting Selvages?

Kay Rindall of St. Paul, MN found these unique selvages and took some photos to share with you. Rather than color "dots," these manufacturers use cats and strawberries. Why not? Thanks, Kay!

New Selvage Quilter: Kay Rindall

Kay Rindall of St. Paul, MN is well into her first selvage project. I love the faces on the selvage in the bottom photo; it's from the St. Jude's Hospital fabric line. I really like these blocks. The sashing in the blocks is nice and narrow, like the selvages.

I wonder how Kay will use these blocks in a quilt. Maybe she'll use a black and white striped sashing, or a selvage sashing, or maybe she'll set them on point! We'll see. Nice job, Kay!

About selvages, Kay says, "I already buy enough yardage to be sure I get the part of the selvage I want -- and when buying a FQ, I always open it to make sure it's from the printed selvage side. But I dread the day I find myself buying the fabric strictly because of the selvage!!"

If that happens, we're here for you, Kay. :)
