Turn Selvages Into Works of Art

Let Your Selvages Suggest the Background and Border!

Feathers made of selvages are so striking in this quilt. Get started with the mini quilt with 3 feathers or make the large one with 20 feathers.

The mini version will be lovely on your wall or table while the larger quilt is sized for a lap or crib. Either one will be lovely in your home and show off your quilt-making skills.

Select a background and border that set off the feathers. If you tend to work in a particular color theme than your selvages will reflect that and suggest a background color.

The finished quilts are:

Mini quilt – 18″ x 23″
Large quilt – 38″ x 57″

You can add more feathers for a larger quilt, if you’re so inclined. The pattern includes tips for working with selvages.

It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
