    You just slip it in there. Like put it at the bottom of the triangles (across the width of the quilt) and slide it up until it hits the top of the triangles.

    btw for small wall hangings, I like these:

    They are very affordable. I bought them in several sizes back when they didn't have online ordering. I had to call to order and they were so nice.

    Right- the triangles are open, only stitched to the binding side of the quilt, so the dowel slips right in.

    I've done this also with some medium sized ones. If it's heavy though you have to be careful that the clips don't dig into the fabric where you clip it.

    I use a black curtain rod (you can buy them at target, home depot, etc.) to display my quilts at home. They usually will have some packages of rings with small clips that you can buy in addition to the curtain rod.

    Gale and Maggiemay,

    Thank you ever so much. It's easy when you know how!

    I hang most of mine that way too. :)
