Thanks. I use the triangle method, but my wall hangings have been relatively small so far. The one I am working on now is about 36 inches square, so I won't use triangles.

Depends on how you plan to hang it. There are numerous options, depending on how you want to hang it. I've done sleeves, when I wanted it to hang flat against the wall with the hanger not showing, tabs when using a drapery rod, wanted it all to show and triangle corners when it was an odd shape, didn't want the hanger to show. Look at them and decide what you like for the quilt involved

AQS instructions for adding a sleeve:

I have also done it the way where you sew it into the binding, but I had a paper pattern to follow for that one. It's not really any easier than the AQS instructions & it adds more bulk to that part of the binding so I now just follow the AQS instructions for all my sleeves.

I have a shop where I sell things I make.The problem with quilts is they are considered "bedding" and must carry a "do not remove under penalty of law" tag. To get around this I attach a sleeve to ALL my quilts. If they don't like it they can easily remove it.
