Well, like I said, “a horse with blinders”. I have no pictures of the process, but I have seen a few good instructions out in blogland. I know I have seen more, but I can’t remember where. So if you know of (or posted yourself) some instructions on the quilt sandwich process, please post links in the comments!

It's easier because since I know it will be hung on the wall I actually attached the sleeve along the border before I put the binding on so that the seam along the top is hidden. My plan is to show this as my process goes along. I actually have lots of pictures and need to be posting but time seems to be evaporating into thin air around my house right now. My cutting mat is 36" wide by 24" long. I'm very happy with this size. It allows me to fold a fabric in half and then cut selvedge to selvedge (22"). My old, smaller mat, required me to fold my fabric twice and I was never happy with the wiggles I got in the lines. In response to Angie’s questions:

I think it would be so much fun to do a quilt using your children's art (now if only my grown children were little again). Thank you so much for the tutorial. Such a cute mini-quilt.

It's coming along beautifully. I'm sure the mom will be ecstatic when she sees it. Looking forward to seeing your process for machine quilt. Don't hate me, but I just tagged you with a meme. No pressure, of course. :) So good of you to post this tutorial. It’s coming along beautifully. I’m sure the mom will be ecstatic when she sees it.

I make mini quilts all the time& then never know how to hang them up! What do you use, and if you dont mind me asking, how big of a cutting mat is that? I have quite a small one & find it difficult for cutting large fabrics! This is so awsome that your doing this! I make mini quilts all the time& then never know how to hang them up!

It was originally 8 x 10 whereas the boy's started out at 5 x 7. She's going to give one to each of their Aunt's for Christmas. I liked small too, the beginning and ending are so much closer :) Claudine: I will machine quilt these myself. The biggest I've done on my machine is a baby quilt (48 x 60). I haven't tried anything bigger yet, my daughters' quilts were done by the long arm lady. Danielle: I really think the safety pins make a big difference. It took me 4 tries but I've finally found the GREATEST safety pins in the world. Lisa Call wrote about these on her blog. They are pins made for drycleaners which means they won't rust or get glop on them over time and they're super sharp and go through the fabric like butter. They're also an absolutely amazing value. https://www.walterhesse.com/customer/product.php?productid=17452 Linda: The boy was in Leil’s class, the daughter was in the next grade up and did her portrait in art class.
