STANDARD PREPARATION FOR HANGING A QUILT

1.      Each quilt must have a hanging sleeve on the back of the quilt.  Usually this is a 4” sleeve.  For directions on how to make a sleeve go to http://quilting.about.com/od/decoratingwithquilts/ss/quilt_sleeve.htm

2.      Each quilt must have a slat that fits in the sleeve.  The slat usually is wooden and about the width and thickness of a normal ruler.  It should be cut about 1” shorter than the width of the quilt, but longer than the sleeve.  The bat has a whole drilled in each end.  A wire or nylon filament may be attached to hang the quilt.

3.      Each quilt should have a permanent label on back, which (at a minimum) identifies the maker of the quilt.
