Pronounced 'sel-vij (as in 'sell' or 'cell'). You are salvaging the selvedges. 😂 Hope this helps. ❤ Also, if interested, spelled selvage in US English or selvedge in British English. Fun facts.

Very fantastic n to-the-point video. The beauty of variety in savages got enhanced due to that piece of batique used. It also helped in creating so many designs. Cannot wait to try this one. Thank u taking efforts to create this video n for sharing with us.

I believe you could use the Missouri Star Quilt Company periwinkle template for 10” squares to cut your center piece.

Thank you so much! An elderly lady just gave me quilting supples as she was leaving her home. I received a garbage bag loaded with salvages amongst beautiful batiks and unfinished quilt blocks. I love this design! Yours is the first video on my search for selvage sewing projects! p.S. I’ve seen for 50 years and NEVER saved a selvage! SMH!

Beautiful pattern, love it both ways, thx. I made a Kaffe Fasset strip quilt years ago & bordered it w/selvages. I h/b saving salvages for 5 or 6 yrs & have a huge bag full so it’s time for a 2nd one. ❤

The “dots” are called registration marks. They allow the printers to line up the various screens so the colors that make up the design all align correctly. I’ve made this quilt. It’s helpful to make yourself a template to draw the kite shape on your foundation. I would think the adhesive makes your finished units stiff. I used the background fabric (like your red fabric) for my foundation.

This is just brilliant. It doesn’t have to be SELvedges, it could be strips of scraps. I love the milleflores-type pattern the round version forms. Thank you for this!!! Ps those dots on the selvedges correspond to the colors used in the fabric pattern (and I think the quantity of the color as well, most to least, but not sure )

I am going to be making a quilt. I don’t long arm my quilts, I do “stitch in the ditch” on my regular machine. I’ll do the same here and probably stitch around each triangle piece. If you prefer the long arm, you could probably do it in the same way as a regular pieced quilt. Thanks for watching!

I cut my selvages 1-1/2 inches wide because I want to see a good bit of the fabric they were attached to. Love the spiderweb arrangement, made one using every acid/nile/vile/apple green in my stash, and it remains one of my favorite quilts even though it's twenty years old.

I would really love to see how you would do this with thin strips of fabric! I don’t think you would want that glue inside a quilt? And how big would your squares have to be to allow for seam allowances? I will keep watching to see if you come up with a plan! Thanks for all your videos, they are very inspiring

Hi Lisa- the fusible interfacing is made for fabric so it will be fine inside a quilt. Just made sure to use very thin interfacing. To use regular fabric instead of selvage, cut your fabric into strips and sew together with 1/4th inch, then sew onto the middle piece and trim to be the correct size. Happy quilting and thanks for watching!

There is a difference between salvage and selvage: SAL-VAGE is the rescue of a ship, its crew or its cargo from a hazardous situation. It is pronounced with an “a” in the first syllable. SELVAGE is the edge of a woven fabric, where the weft (side-to-side) threads run around the warp (top to bottom) threads, creating a finished edge. British English spelling is SELVEDGE. In sewing or weaving, it is never pronounced with an “a” sound, only with an “e” sound. On Pinterest there is a stunning dress made solely from selvedges ❤…I have made only coasters and other small things.
