    Default Hanging Quilts

    Does anyone have good methods to hang larger quilts? I would like to hang a larger one on a wall.

    Also, is there any good tape or other project for hanging small quilts on a wall where you don’t want a permanent nail? I tried blue tape and it didn’t work.

    Look forward to your advice.

    I hung two curtain rods at ceiling height and hung two quilts using curtain rings. It's easy to swap the quilts out when the mood strikes.

    For small quilts you can try the command strips. The pull off clean when you are ready to change decor

    My suggestion for hanging a large quilt would be to add a sleeve on the bottom as well. I use a lattice strip of wood within the sleeve and it helps to keep the quilt hanging straight.

    I hung a large quilt with a “hang it dang it” available on amazon or from their website. You will need a sleeve but even a large quilt hangs on one nail. It is self leveling. Very pleased with it.

    I’ve had success with Command strips hanging medium and small quilts. Not sure about large quilts.

    I bought a magnet system at a quilt show years ago, magnets attached to the wall with command strips and a curtain rod in a sleeve. No marks on the wall and easy to change. I tried to get magnets that would work at Home Depot but none as strong as what I got at the show.

    I'm also using a curtain rod and rings with clips, for the same reason as Dunster: no need to add a sleeve, plus easy to change out.
