I have had people buy my quilts to hang them, also it is convenient when you do shows, or are just trying to photograph the quilt. Right now I have a quilt on my bed that has a permanent sleeve, which I don't even notice. Your quilt is really beautiful. I am really enjoying see your quilts come together.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933263892737536339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-15685370262246030512012-03-02T18:49:53.899-06:002012-03-02T18:49:53.899-06:00I would use it as a lap quilt.I would use it as a lap quilt.Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-6919957872193257162012-03-02T18:44:09.771-06:002012-03-02T18:44:09.771-06:00I would probably use it as a wall hanging.

However, if I were in charge of the world, I'd make a 'removable" sleeve and then make the point that this can be hung or the sleeve can be removed if the quilt is going to be used for snuggling. Can't see how you'd go wrong with that.<br /><br />Love watching the "exhibit" unfold....JanI Quilt for Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344303465941082875noreply@blogger.com
