I'm going to be entering my first show this fall. I'm working on the quilt as we speak but as always I'm thinking ahead to future steps. The show entry form gives instructions for hanging sleeve size and how far it should be inside the edges of the quilt. What I'm wondering about is how the sleeve is attached to the quilt back. I've made many quilts with sleeves and my method is to fold the sleeve in half, long raw edges together, and sew that top edge on while sewing my binding to the front. Then when I flip the binding to the back and hand sew, the top egde of the sleeve is done. All I have to attach by hand for the sleeve is it's bottom edge.

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether there should be a problem with this method for a show quilt? I imagine I can email the show contact person and ask, but I like asking here first. :)
