Bad form - replying to myself, I know. But something strange happened along
the way with the "pillow" referenced below. I'm busily piecing the strips
around the center, which is rectangular, gradually increasing the vertical
dimension by using wider crosswise strips than vertical ones, and all of a
sudden the darn thing tells me "I don't want to be a pillow. I'm supposed
to be a wall hanging." Dang! Who could have guessed. Anyway, now it's a
WUH, all put together & quilted and will get binding tonite. (someone remind
me that I do *not* like fusible batting, even for a WUH!) Now for the
question. I usually put "tabs" on wall quilts, but this one (of course)
wants something different. It wants a sleeve, and I have no idea how to do
one. Does someone have some directions for this task? Thanks in advance,

Thank you, Pat. That does look easy. But hand sewing?! Oh well, I do know
how, it's just not my fav thing.

TerriLee:
You can do the long upper edge with SM, when
you do the initial binding stitches. Just
finish the short ends, fold WST, pin raw
edges of sleeve to raw edges of quilt top.
Then pin the binding to front and sew. You
would need to work the lower edge by hand. I
HAVE done the entire thing by SM but it was
not as attractive. Note that when you apply
the sleeve by hand you can remove it; when
you incorporate in the binding, it is permanent.
