Decorating with quilts?
#1
Good Morning! I was wondering if any of you decorate your homes with quilts? I have a couple older quilts, and a few of my new ones that I would like to display. I have mostly antique oak furniture and love the look of antiques and quilts together. I would love to see some of the creative ways others display or decorate with their quilts. :D

Me too. Just love them, every size and shape. Have two curtain rods with decorative finials on one wall and change them for different seasons or when I finish one I want to display.

I use ladders. I have an old one that was my grandfather's that's 10 ft tall and has a few quilts folded on each rung. I also have a bunk-bed ladder that I found in my neighbor's trash. It's on the landing at the bottom of the stairs and holds small quilts. I also have them on the backs of couch and love seat, on window seat, and hanging on walls. Hmm--didn't realize I have so many until you asked and I looked around LOL!!
Just a warning: if you use wooden dowels or ladders, put a towel or acid free paper between the quilt and the wood.

Seems like I remember a book from the 1990s by Phylis George about decorating with quilts. Now there are many I see when I google the subject, "Decorating with quilts".
