I... this quilt. it's about loving fabric... loving the challenge. (6 months in the making!) A few more rows and it'll be done. This quilt may put me in the running for 'crazy quilt lady.' I'll wear the title proudly.
rachel, it started out that way, but selvages disappear quickly! this quilt contains selvages from MANY of my blog friends. i couldn't have done it without them!!
I heart that quilt too. That robin's egg blue color is what really sets it apart from other's I've seen. Is that a Kona--would you mind sharing the color name?
Wow, that's an amazing quilt! I love it. It's interesting how so many traditional quilt styles look great done in selvages.
If anyone needs selvages, just ask your guild members, and soon you'll have more than you could ever use! Until they see the cool stuff you make; then they might want to hold onto them.
Jacquie, your quilt is a masterpiece. I love it. Congratulations! I hope you post pictures of it once you get it quilted. I would love to see it completely finished.
Oh I'm with you-LOVE this quilt! And what a labour of love it was for you!! Can't imagine collecting all those selvages...but SOOO worth it!! Well done! Paulette
Love it! Are you stitching the first strip and then inserting the second one under it and top stitching? Is that to reduce bulk? Just curious, I enjoy seeing how others work through different patterns.
Fabulous quilt, Jacquie! I have been saving selvedges for some time in case I ever ran into anyone who may need them. Are you in need of more? I will happily give them to you.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! (can you hear the Beatles singing?) This is my favourite quilt! I wish I had the time, the nerves and the selvedge to make one for our bed!
Whoa!! That is some kinda beautiful! I've been saving selvages for what seems like ages, just waiting for the right moment to begin. I'm a little scared. You've given me courage!
it's great. you may be a crazy quilt lady, but then again, so am I, since I just made a spiderweb too, but with strings, not selvages. its an intense project, but I had fun with it.
What a great quilt! I finally broke down and started saving salvages last year. I just need to pick out a project and get started. Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so pretty! I would never be able to sleep under it because I would spend the entire night reading it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine the amount of work in this one. And time! It really is so cool.
wow jacquie! this is looking good! are you in need of any more salvages? i have a bag full that I can send your way if you are still in need.
ReplyDeletetoo cool! if it took you 6 months it take the rest of us decades.....
ReplyDeleteWow, that's going to be beautiful when it's done. I had my doubts looking at each separate triangle but all put together, it's quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteLove of fabric, love of tradition, sharing the love (on the web) - it is lovely!

That's looking amazing! And you seem to have chosen the perfect blue to go with it - those strips really shine!
ReplyDeleteI adore the whole idea of using up the selvages! Perhaps I will start with a pillow. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Do you need any more? Or do you know anyone who does? Cause I've been saving a bunch in case I find a crazy like you.... ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of work. You are truly dedicated!
ReplyDeleteI'd never have enough selvedges saved to do anything like this - but WOW it's looking great.

ReplyDeletethis is beautiful! I've never seen selvedge edges look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your quilt too! It's awesome! I need to go dig through my scraps for selvages!
ReplyDeleteI have never liked anything with selvages--there just wasn't enough color interest for me. This, however, is the exception. It's absolutely striking!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm with you-LOVE this quilt! And what a labour of love it was for you!! Can't imagine collecting all those selvages...but SOOO worth it!!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Paulette
Unbelievable!!! What patience!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Are you stitching the first strip and then inserting the second one under it and top stitching? Is that to reduce bulk?
ReplyDeleteJust curious, I enjoy seeing how others work through different patterns.
It's so fun to see the final product!! Grat job!
ReplyDeleteIf that makes you crazy, you deserve a corsage and sash to go with the title! It looks AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I'm saving my selvages for a small project... I'd never have thought of something of this magnitude! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow - how very cool! I never have the patience to cut off the selvedges... I totally admire what you've done here! And it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWOW that is awesome! I don't know how you sew the edges! Such little seam lines to work with. But beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt, Jacquie! I have been saving selvedges for some time in case I ever ran into anyone who may need them. Are you in need of more? I will happily give them to you.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Tia
beautiful!! i've been saving selvages for a while now... no idea what i'm gonna make with them... but when i decide... i'll have lots to pick from!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt had better make an appearance at a future KC MQG meeting!! It's AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteNot crazy, clever! I love how you used a wider piece with an inch or so of the fabric for your last piece before the solids. It's a beaut Jacquie!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! This is excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis look amazing!! Do you need more salveges? I've saved a bunch but don't intend on using them... I'd love to send them your way!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing Jacquie!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it! i am so envious!

ReplyDeleteit's insane! and I can't believe you did it.....
ReplyDeletenow, where's my fabric??

Whoa!! That is some kinda beautiful! I've been saving selvages for what seems like ages, just waiting for the right moment to begin. I'm a little scared. You've given me courage!
ReplyDeleteWow, i love it! And I don't even like spiderweb quilts, but you've changed my mind. I think it's the blue color background.
ReplyDeleteHey, I gave you a shout out on my blog today, check it out!
Hey Jacquie, FABULOUS! And you are not the only "crazy quilt lady" I've come across, I talked to one in the mirror this morning. Well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. Someday I WILL make a spiderweb quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is smashing. This is probably my very favorite selvage project I've seen ever. Nice job Jacquie.
ReplyDeleteit's great. you may be a crazy quilt lady, but then again, so am I, since I just made a spiderweb too, but with strings, not selvages. its an intense project, but I had fun with it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most fantastic spider webs I've ever seen! Just great!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. What an awesome quilt. I love the blue especially and how it complements the selvages.
ReplyDeleteYes...wear the title proudly...this quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering how this was going. Its is your masterpiece Jaquie, its breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome! I'd better start saving those selvages rather than throwing them away!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! I finally broke down and started saving salvages last year. I just need to pick out a project and get started. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing!
