I started using it when I made my 1st and only bargello as there were plenty of space to put each row in order. Now I've got it out to hold various sections of whatever quilt I'm working on. Folds up when not in use.
    This is what I use too. Sometimes things fall off.....

Now I see there are more ideas on this board, thanks everyone for sharing.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606812[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]606813[/ATTACH]I want to share my find with you as well, I found at a local hardware store - this portable hanger which will fit over any door, in the closed position, easy to remove and store and when you need it just hang it over the top of a door, open it up and the metal bar slides down and you can hang up anything you need to hang, wet or dry.
    Both of these ideas are so clever!

    We use these hangars if the top swivels to hang our quilts at our local Fall Quilt show. We hang them on PVC that has been made for our quilt display, so easy to set up and take down our show now. We have been using them for about 3 yrs. we use 4 for most large quilts, no more pins for us.
