I think selvages can sidetrack me faster than anything! Saturday morning I saw a little Chinese Coins selvage quilt that was made by Krista Hennebury of Poppyprint featured on the Selvage Blog. I tried telling myself that I had enough projects going on and UFO's to finish, but I couldn't resist and by Saturday night I was sewing a few selvages together for my own Mini Chinese Coins selvage quilt. After all, it's just a small wall hanging. It won't take long to finish. It will just be a minor diversion...right?

Sidetracked By Selvages

Diversions are not bad.....looking forward to seeing it finished.
Very minor!!! I saw that quilt and thought it was adorable too!!
oh sweet! I have a drawer of selvages...and since I didn't mention anything about them in my DWmonday post, no one will be the wiser if I play around...hehe
Have you seen the selvage dress??? I'll have to find it and post it.
I have never been a selvage quilter , I am starting to get interested now .Maybe I will check out some patterns .
sometimes we just need to stop and make something quick, fun and hopefully easy. it looks great!
Oh now side tracking is not bad...keeps us fresh! ;-) I hope to have a quilt show selvage bag done for next Feb!
Have fun!
L0ve selvage sewing.....Now I can watch you...I actually started to collect them from my fabrics in the hope that "some " day I will make something really cool....I am going to check out the site that inspired you!
A minor diversion never hurt anyone! It's a beautiful one too!
Hmmm - I seem to recognize alot of these fabrics! Especially all the Tula Pink Neptune ones! You'll have your selvage quilt done before I finish the quilt the selvages are cut from! Can't wait to see your finished project.
I don't think there is a quilter alive who couldn't relate to having a minor diversion. I think it's like petting fabric...it's just a part of us and we can't help it (lol). Looks like a fun little quilt, can't wait to see it done.
What a great idea and diversion!! xxoo
