I think I'm going to have to put this project away for a little bit because my little sister is coming for a visit next week and I'm going to teach her to quilt! So in preparation for her visit I am doing a little of what I call 'quilt housekeeping', meaning making quilt backs (made 2 last night for big quilts), getting the binding made up, and in general just cleaning the 2 sewing rooms that I can manage to trash in short order! LOL Not to mention getting the rest of the house ready so that we can just concentrate on the important stuff like sewing and fabric shopping.
I'll leave you with a picture of my storage solution for my red and white selvage collection. I also save other selvages but they don't look quite so pretty as these do.

i love those little flowers in the corner squares and the pinwheel in the center (it looks like a peppermint to me) - and your red "R" and the red topper for your red selvages ... you really DO like read, doncha??!!
I love the little pinwheel, it's so cute!
Are you saving the selvage strips for a future project? Is it only red and white? I throw mine out... but can start saving them for you!
Love the block Ranette. You keep surprising me. Those fussy cut flowers look great.
Have a great time with your Sister :-)
cheers

Another great block, you must be well ahead by now! Love the red jar and letter. Have a great time with your sister. I love beginners, their enthusiasm is infectious.
