    I was reading the thread about displaying the quilt in town hall. And was wondering how you display your quilts in your home. Here are a couple of mine.

    Mine are on the backs of chairs, or folded for easy access. I don't think they would be considered "art quilts", just for fun to use.

    Your quilt hangers are quite "out of the box"! CUTE! I can honestly say I have never seen these at the local Wal-Mart (tee hee). Thanks for stimulating my creative block this morning.

    Chair backs are a good idea. I don't consider anything I have an art quilt. I have 10' ceilings and needed a way to take up alot of space.

    Folded on my chair for instant use. On the bed to keep me warm.
    Stuck in the linen closet to keep them clean. I have 2 cats that love them.
    I don't really have any art quilts, except the ice cream ones that will be used in my daughter's house to cuddle her grand kids.

    I never thought of the bathroom. But I do have a moose in the bathroom.

    Most of my quilts are hung on the wall with a board in a sleeve at the top. Nails or screws fit thru a hole at each end of the board. The quilt hangs flat against the wall. If it's wider that 3', I usually have a stiffener board at the bottom in a sleeve as well. This keeps the quilt flat and it doesn't ripple.

    Quilts I made for my sons', hang on curtain rods they mounted to the wall. A sleeve at the top slides onto the rod, so the quilt hangs out from the wall a few inches.
