Help! My dd is pulling quilt off the PBK quilt clips

[tigalig]

We have our dd's quilt hanging from PBK quilt clips right above her crib. She started pulling on them a few months ago and today she pulled it down twice. The second time, she managed to pull the quilt clip right off and it bruised her mouth. Is there a safer way to hold a quilt on a wall? Any assistance will be appreciated.

You can sew a sleeve to the back of the quilt and hang it from a curtain rod. Pretty much you just sew a tube of fabric and then hand sew it to the back of the quilt. The tube can always be removed later. If you aren't the sewing type, you could go to a quilt shop and see if they know of someone to help you. You could probably secure a curtain rod better than the clips.

As darling as it looks though, your best option may be to hang it on a different wall. It is just going to be such a temptation.

Another suggestion if you want to leave it up is to pull her crib away from the wall enough so she won't reach it.
