I wanted to show you this before and I forgot. I learned a new way to hang small wallhangings (at retreat) and I used this method again on this little Joy wallhanging. You take two squares, fold them in half diagonally and press. I used 4 inch squares for this step. Put them at the top on each corner of the wallhanging. Be sure and place the raw edges against the outside of each corner, the fold will be toward the body of the quilt. When you sew your binding on, you sew these at the same time. Then hand stitch your binding down and your wallhanging has it's little hanging sleeve done at the same time. It's only good for small things and wouldn't hold a big quilt but I love this method for wallhangings. It's so simple to do. I hope you can see it. I put a dark and a light so maybe you can see one of them....

Thids is such a cute holiday wall hanging. Great job.
It's great. Don't you just love it when you complete a holiday project way ahead of time to use it. I love the scrappy look, too!
sounds like a productive afternoon. I like that method for hanging, so much quicker and simpler
How neat is that!!!? what a great hint - I am just about to piece up my Christmas stitchery I finished last week and now I will use your corner triangle method! Thanks!
Cute wallhanging and a very good idea for hanging small quilts.
I love your little wallhanging and the hanging method sounds like a really outstanding idea. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing that! I haven't hung a lot of little things because they don't have sleeves. I'm planning a whole series for one spot in my new house, though, so this will make life so much easier!
