Sew, you've been cutting off selvages for months or years, and they're piling up on you. What to do? Sarah Vanderburgh from Sew Joy Creations has an excellent idea: craft your orphaned selvages into a heart block, or twelve (maybe you have a LOT). Maybe you're like us and making use of every possible scrap just makes you feel more right with the universe, or maybe you just love the scrappy-strippy appeal of this block, either way, this is a great project complete with a video demonstration! More from Sarah:
"Sometimes I'm moved by JOY to create something and then by more JOY to share it!
{and sometimes technology and vacations slooooow down the process!} Today I'm sharing a tutorial to use selvages - and a little fabric - to create this fun heart block. The block finishes at 9 x 12.
"The block came about while I was playing with ways to make the next borders for my Roosting Robin Rainbow quilt. I hesitated to write this tutorial because it's tricky to give exact fabric requirements for selvages. I have a LOT - but you don't need a lot to make this block. I've done my best to give you measurements for each section of the block, but it's always a good thing to have a few extra pieces around just in case!"
