I really love the way Joan is using up her selvages...I have been collecting selvages for some time now and saving it for "just the right" project....not knowing what that was going to be....but now I think this could be it.....I really love how effective this looks. Joan has gotten her ideas from Instructions for the Red Zinger but has added her measurements which helps greatly.
