Advice on adding a pocket for feet on a quilt
Our son would like a pocket on the back of his lap quilt, that he could slip his feet into. He is tall 6'6" so his lap quilts were always, I thought long enough.
I was thinking that this sounds similar to the Quillow's of the past, (which I've never made a quillow and would have to look up instructions) perhaps covering 2/3 of the width of the quilt and then maybe 1/4 of the length, 20" or so deep? Do you think that is too big, not big enough?
Also, I'm trying to figure out is this, it will go to the Long Arm for the main quilt to be quilted. How do I attach the pocket after I get it back? I know I could machine sew the pocket on the bottom edge of the quilt and cover that raw edge, when binding the quilt, are there any other suggestions other than hand stitching the sides to attach to the back of the quilt?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have...I know I may be complicating this but I want it to be practical and useful for him.
