Way to hang a quilt

[August Mom]

Thanks. I don't know why I couldn't find it. It looks nice. I may have to try it myself.

I just used some of those clip-on curtain rings about an inch from the top of the quilt and a couple of thumb tacks...

Target has quilt hangers in their baby section and they are a lot less expensive than PBK.

I sewed tabs onto a quilt I made for my DS and hung it on a rod then hung the rod to small "curtain hooks" which I screwed into the wall.

Any idea where to find these in Target? I have one close by I will check out.

Glad somebody asked this! We have a great quilt we've been trying to figure out how to hang. I really like the PBK clips. Here's a link if anyone else is looking:

I hope I can describle this right......
They made loops with ribbon at the top of a quilt (like the AIDS ribbon loops) and attached them with diaper pins (Ribbon on the back of the quilt and diaper pin on the front). They attached the loops to hooks handing from a chair rail. I am going to buy some basic small looks at Home Depot. The diaper pins are really cute!

Ironically I saw this after I went to PBK's and bought their circle quilt holders. I'll be returning those now! I did not want to put so many holes in the wall, so the little hooks will be perfect!

I have these and they are great! (Yes, that's my review at the site.)

You can't tell from the picture, but there is a marble inside, between the pieces of wood and the weight of the quilt holds it in place. It's easy to take the quilt out and put it back. The blocks just hang on the wall from a simple nail.

Although I haven't used them for a larger quilt yet, I do have a set holding up a small wallhanging in my powder room and another for a wallhanging in my bedroom. I'm on Joann's mailing list, and so I bought them with my "Preferred Customers" 50% off coupon.

I have painted them to match the pattern of the quilt, but you can just paint or stain them a solid color. That's they great thing about them--you can do whatever you want with them!

I tried scanning a set in once, but 3-D objects don't work so well on the scanner! LOL! But I've attached the pics anyway so you can get an idea. This picture doesn't do them justice, though, IMHO. You can't see the sides (which are purple to match the border of the quilt).
