I just finished the quilting and binding of my quilt "2014",
which shows one self-designed block for each month of the last year.
So it now got a "face".
The dimensions are 96 x 124 cm (about 38" x 49"),
it's all sewn and quilted by hand, and I used cotton yarn and fabrics.
The batting is a smooth and somewhat thick cotton sheet.
I debated the point with myself whether to hang it with a second rod in a long sleeve at the bottom end of the quilt,
so that it could hang more evenly and smoothly,
but then again it wasn't such a plain and smooth year,
so no,
and yes, I added a second rod at the bottom, but it hangs in small loops;
that way I can add some straightening with a second rod below for better hanging,
but I can also allow of some slight "wave" and movement
for the form on the whole.
