Way to hang a quilt

[Jen841]

We received a quilt that I want to hang on the wall. I don't want to fold it.

I have seen the star/flower hangers at PBK, but want to know if anyone has any other ideas for hanging a quilt.

Thanks!

I added tabs to the top of mine and hung it on a curtain rod. It matches the rod that the valance hangs on. It turned out really cute.

you can buy similar quilt hangers at Target and WalMart.

Or you could sew rings to the back of the quilt and hang on little hooks, if you want an "invisible" hanging system!

I hung mine on a clotheline with some of his cuter outfits. It looks really great!

At Great Indoors, a salesclerk suggested buying a curtain rod with your choice of finials and rings that clip onto the quilt and then slide onto the rod.

There is a cute one on jcpenney.com. They don't sell it in the stores. It's a knock-off shelf with rod that PBK sells in white, and three colors of woods. It's $39.95. I wanted it except for I couldn't find the right shade to match our furniture!

Heidi,

Would you please post the link to the page showing this quilt hanger? I've been searching the JC Penney site and can't seem to find anything but an iron quilt stand. Thanks.

I was going to buy a quilt rack from PBK (the ones where the pole lifts up from the rack), but my Land of Nod quilt was to wide for it.

My MIL makes a lot of quilts, and this is what she is doing to my quilt so I can hang it: She is sewing a lightweight pocket across the top of the back of the quilt, leaving 3" on each side. She will then put a sturdy 1"x2" wood piece in the pocket. The length of the wood piece should be 4" less than the width of the quilt so it rests behind the quilt, completely hidden. She will then attach those question mark shaped picture hanging hooks to each end of the wood piece. (you have to be careful not to split the wood when putting these in) Then you can hang the quilt on two nails in the wall and all the hardware will be hidden.

She does this will all her wall hanging quilts and it works great for her. Hope this helps someone!

Sure, here is the link! I even ordered one, using a free shipping code that I found on the internet somewhere. It wasn't the right color, so I returned to the catalog desk at my local JCPenney store. It was great because if it doesn't work out, then you don't have to ship it back, if you have a store near you!

If this link doesn't work, then you can find it under "children's", then "furniture", then "accessories" and then it's on the third page of the accessories section. They have tons of cute knock-off items including the dollhouse bookshelf and firehouse bookshelf and toybox bench seat. I just wish they matched my furniture!
