I love selvage quilting. I love Halloween. It doesn't matter that it's July, right? We'll just call it an early start.
I am having a lot of fun free-piecing this guy. (My sewing machine is still getting fixed, but thankfully I have a loaner. Thanks Tina!) This mummy just makes me smile. He is turning out just how I imagined him in my head. Everything it still rough and needs shaping and more selvages added, but you can get the idea.
Figuring out how to free-piece this hand definitely took some thinking.

I am planning to keep this mummy to a large wall hanging size, and I am declaring this, in writing, on this blog, so he doesn't end up life-size (like the crazy Selvage Snowman). If I start posting mummy legs on here, somebody please send me an email and tell me to Step. Away. From. The. Selvages.
Per usual, this project will eat through quite a few selvages. Thank you so, so much to everyone who keeps me stocked in selvages!!!
I bought this dotted fabric as a possible border. I kind of like it, we'll see ...

And now, for some linky fun, I'm hanging out with some other crafty types over at Fabric Tuesday and WIP Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by. And thanks so so much for the wonderful response to my previous post about my debut novel. I sincerely appreciate all the kind words and support!
