For LARGE quilts to be hung at a quilt show, I read that it is recommended to use a split sleeve, so that the hook can be inserted over the hanging rod. Is it best to make the two side pieces of the sleeve about 6 inches long, and the whole center piece be in the middle-about an inch from the end pieces? I can't find a picture of one made that way. Any advice is welcome....

( It also said that it is recommended now to NOT sew the hanging sleeve on before adding the binding, which is so much easier... Now, I have to HAND sew both edges!!)Also, what do they do with the bottom of the quilt if it is 103 inches long and the hanging rod is not that high???
