OK, I have a question. Do we need to put a hanging sleeve on the back of these or leave it up to the recipient to do so if they so desire? Send a hanging sleeve unattached? :?: :?:

Joyce...I put the little hanging corners on the back of my Oct. quilt and will do the same with this one. I don't know if that is right or not. I like to use a little dowel to hang them with and thought my swapper might do that too. I tie a little piece of wire in the center of the dowel, then I can hang it with a picture hanger.

You could go ahead and add it, then if they want to hang it...its there...if they don't, it doesn't bother anything..right?

Me again. I have a question. My quilt top is 18x22 1/2, which I know is within the limits. My question? I might put prairie points around the outside edges once I finish quilting it. That will bring the longer measurement over the 24" maximum. Do you count the dimensions of the quilt with or without the points? A regular binding is fine too, if the points do count in the final measurement. It'll just help me decide what to do to finish it. After it's quilted...I'm not THAT far along!!!
Thanks everyone,
bev.

What great quilts already! You little overachievers! LOL!

There are no requirements for hanging sleeves, but if you want to put them on, by all means do so. I know your partner would love it.

And quiltease, no worries about size. The size requirements are only a guideline. I run a loose ship!

I hope everyone is having fun making or dreaming of their little quilts!
