I've been busy working on my wall hanging. I've so enjoyed quilting it. I'm even considering entering it in our fair, which is right around the corner. I have my application all filled out.
Now that I have it all bound and pretty much ready to go - I looked up how to hang a quilt. The Crafty Quilter has a great method using a yard stick. After seeing her post, I'm realizing that maybe I was supposed to put the hanging sleeve on before the binding. Well, shoot! We wouldn't want to do things the right way - would we?
I hope to have a picture of the finish quilt tomorrow. I'm thinking of putting two bows on it using this seersucker fabric. Is that fabric a no-no in the quilting world? I used this to bind the quilt too. The color is just perfect.
I have no delusions of winning any prizes - that's not why I want to enter. I just thought it would be fun to share. I didn't even realize there were prizes until I got the entry form.
Happy Stitching,
Linda
I usually try to remember to do my hanging sleeve before my binding, but it does't always work that way. I don't think the quilt police will come after you. Have fun entering it in the fair. I can't wait to see the front of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your quilt too. I often don't remember about the hanging sleeve until it's too late!
ReplyDeleteSeems like we're all the same bout hanging sleeves doesn't it. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished, and I reckon that if you want to add bows, then that's just what you should do - it's your quilt after all.
