So for the past few weeks, I've been cursing while hand-sewing on various scraps of fabric as sleeves.
Now I wish I hadn't entered so many quilts into the show ;) (12 or so?) Luckily, many of them are baby-quilts, so they don't need sleeves, wahoo!

I have a purple sort of coloured quilt that my sweetie would love to hang...yep it just needs a sleeve...little things to take our time away from the real stuff...quilting.
oh no....how do you even attach a sleeve after you have already bound and finished a quilt?
A great way to use up those odds and ends of fabric!! I've never put a sleeve on before...but then I've never hung a quilt either LOL.

Hey Sunshine...I am working on my quilt guild to purchase 2" Bulldog clips. they fit nicely over the boards used to hang quilts and no sleeves. Start a campaign now and in a few years time you won't have to make sleeves for your quilts..
Sleeves are not fun to put on. I avoid it too. I was trying to put sleeves on before binding a wall quilt, but I've bought curtain clips now so I'm not sure I will be doing sleeves anymore.
Good luck, have fun at the quilt show.
sleeves...one aspect of quilting I have never done.
I like the bulldog clip suggestion!
