I can see a cowgirl with boots and a cowboy hat! In TX we make quilts the state of TX shape with 2" square blocks sewn together. Maybe in TN, you could do that, as it is a distinctive shape. You could put the cowgirl on the outside of the bathroom door, then maybe noone would take it.

Instead, how about a good quality, framed quilt photo?

Yes, I just made a shower curtain out of a quilt pattern. I didn't batt it I put on backing and just just tied it off. Now I am making another for my other bathroom. I will be doing the same (different pattern) not putting in batting just tying off. Here is a picture:

I have several of my quilts/wall hangings on display and for sale at a local restaurant and when I went into the restroom (which is tiny, but has wall space) I thought I would make them something small to display in the restrooms.
Any suggestions? Patterns to use? It's a country style decor overall, even if my quilts there are a wide variety of styles.

If it is a small quilt, and you can frame it under glass........that might be OK. In a bathroom, unframed, that is just too tempting to a thief!
Remember, thieves walked away with quilts from the Houston Quilt Show a few years ago. A lot of quilt shows have losses! YIKES!!

In my home, wallhangings are often in the bathroom as are quilted toilet back toppers - I change these to coordinate with the seasons and holidays.
I don't see a problem displaying a quilt in the restaurant bathroom as long as it is secured to the wall.
