Charming Selvages

Hi all,   I hope you will enjoy this tutorial,  these blocks are super fun and easy to make.  

I have designed these as a block lotto for the DMQG.  

All you need to make these blocks are some 5 inch charm squares and some leftover selvages.   

First take your selvages and decide which direction you want them to go in.  

Then, flip over first selvage so that it is right sides together with the charm square.  Then sew a 1/4 inch seam (eyeball this, if all you have is 1/8 of an inch then sew that).  

Press seam, then if the selvage has a nice edge sew down other side right up to the edge.  I used the inside of my 1/4 inch foot as the guide. 

If the edge of selvage is tattered then I ironed 1/8 inch before stitching down 

Then take your next selvage and cross over the first 

Once you complete the 2nd selvage, you will need to square back to 5 inch.   

I can't wait to see what you make with these squares.
