Emily, hope your Dad will recover from this soon. I'm sure your TLC is very comforting to him.
Kalamaquilts not sure what you want to know but here goes. I bought a café rod and hung it to the wall. Got some heavy flannel from Joann's and sewed a "hem" across the top to fit the rod through and then just hung it on the brackets. You can also use a flannel backed tablecloth and do the same thing. I tried that but my pieces wouldn't stay stuck to the flannel very well so bought the heavier stuff. Thought maybe it was because of the humidity in Florida, not sure, but the heavy stuff holds it. I got the plastic white clamps and just put them on the rod for when the quilt gets to heavy... just to hold it up
Wouldn't you know it, the last row and I sewed 4 pieces backwards. Using the ripper today, then on to the edges...
