Could someone help me with the basics of making a sleeve for a quilt. I promised the person who purchased my auctioned breast cancer quilt that I would put a sleeve on it for her. I have looked at my quilt books and just can't seem to put my finger on it. I remember hearing 3" but is that finished (6 1/2 cut then folded in half) or cut. I had planned on undoing the seam binding at the one end, machine sewing the sleeve onto quilt then covering all with binding. Then I think I would hand tack on other side to backing and batting. I just need to know correct width and if the technique I've mentioned is correct. Thanks for the help. I'm supposed to get it finished it tonight. I hate deadlines!
