    Like the idea of the embroidery hoop as running out of wall space here

    I only display ONE...there is one on the sofa and one in the recliner, but only ONE is on display at any given time, and it hangs from a display my DH made.

    My full size quilts I hang in my hallway. The house is bungalow so it has a long hall. I cut a trim board 3 inches wide by about 90 inches long. Then glues clothes pins onto it. Used a strong, sturdy glue and lots of wood clothes pins. Then I nailed the board with clothespins onto the wall at the ceiling. Hang the quilts by clothepinning them. No need for a hanging sleeve. The hall lighting is tracklighting so it is more like an art gallery. And get help and a ladder to hang or take down the quilt.

    I have a very large quilt rack that DH made me a couple of years ago. It holds about 12 quilts. Quilts on the backs of my chairs, beds. I have curtain rods on the walls all over the house for wall hangings.
