Using Fabrics with Selvedge Edges

In my recent tidying-up activity, I found a nice piece of woven fabric that is sturdy.  I have made another art quilt with it as the backing.  I used flannel for the batting and 505 fabric spray-adhesive to hold the batting in place on the backing fabric.  My whole intent in making this piece, was to fold it in half and make a nice tote bag out of it.  I like it so much, on my wall, that I am not sure the tote bag will ever be a thing.  The whole reason for using the nice woven fabric was for it to be the inside lining.  Hmmmm . . .

I may have to take it down and audition it with a strap to see if I could actually make myself make it into a bag.  Yes, it is another Kawandi, and I used scrap pieces that had selvedge edges on them, almost entirely.

There are four pieces in it that do not have selvedge edges, excepting the square silk and batik bits I placed on top at the time I laid the quilting in.  I have a decision to make, so meanwhile, I will work on a Christmas Kawandi!
