Selvage Pillow Tutorial at Moda Bake Shop

Front is shown above. Back is shown below.

I made this pretty selvage pillow and wrote up a tutorial for the Moda Bake Shop site: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/03/selvage-pillow.html. As you know, Moda has added Scrapbags containing scraps and selvage strips to their product line of Charm Packs, FQ Bundles, Jelly Rolls, Honey Buns, Layer Cakes (those are 10 inch squares of compatible fabrics), Turnovers (triangles), and more.

If you are waiting for the right project to begin using your selvages, this may be it! This is very quick and easy. And it would look so good in your quilt studio...or make a nice gift for a fabric-loving friend.

If you don't have any selvages, no problem! Moda will hold a contest soon - and you may be the winner of a whole boatload of scraps and selvages. I'll keep you posted.

P.S. Not ALL the scrapbags have selvages, so check the bag before buying!

Moda's Selvage Scrapbags - Check First

I've been hearing that not all Moda scrapbags contain selvages. If you are hoping to get selvages, be sure to check inside the bag first. If you order online, just ask the seller to make sure that your bag contains selvages. Pretty cool way to jumpstart your selvage stash:)
