Here's the selvage project that I worked on last weekend.
I only have 4 blocks. If I sew them together and call it done, the quilt will be approximately 48 x48 inches. Good size for a baby quilt, but the selvages are stiff, and I don't think it would make a good baby quilt. A wall hanging, maybe? But I have no wall space, and don't really like it well enough to hang it up. So it needs to be bigger, and I don't feel like string piecing. I'm putting it away for now.
I added six fat quarters to my stash this week, so I can make cubes to put in my one block wonder quilt. I'd like to do that this afternoon, but I'll be cleaning instead because we're having friends over for dinner.

I absolutely LOVE,LOVE, LOVE your string selvage blocks and if you decide you don't want them, I will gladly send you my address and you can send them to me. I'll even pay the postage! I did a whole quilt of selvages and want to make another one and red would be perfect. I really think your design is great. I may have to copy your design, if you don't mind -- cause I know you won't want to part with those gorgeous blocks. Thanks for the inspiration.
Those are great string blocks, but you and I both know how I feel about those right now LOL (spiderweb anyone?). And don't be afraid to take really up close shots of your blocks so we can see the detail!
