I just lean it against the wall. For this quilt, I have put two small stools under it here in my room, to make it taller. In the picture I set it on top of a humidifier. It is all in one piece, insulation foam, I think it is. It comes in 8 by 4 foot pieces, but I cut the top two feet off of mine years ago. Sure wish I hadn't!

This is beautiful! Have you thought about doing a mirror image for the second quilt? Like a continuation of the first ending with the right edge of 2nd the same as the left edge of this one?

I really like your bargello quilt! Funny, your quilt inspector really takes his job seriously. To protect you at all times, from the camera! Too cute.

Yes, this is exactly what I plan to do!!! I am not sure how to figure out how to do that exactly, but I figure I can figure that out later.

(Do you think I overused the verb figure? Looks like it to me...)

The second quilt may even be "easier" because I won't be trying to decide my pattern as I go. I will just need a good "quilt map."

Here's the post: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t-t244915.html

I love the idea of just turning it upside down--sometimes these kids of ours can be really helpful when we need to look at something in a new way!

Hot Rod seems to approve, though he seems more interested in posing, "Did you get my good side?" than in quilt inspection!

Loved Auntie V's idea to have the 2nd one a mirror image of the first. I was going to suggest that too and then saw you wll be doing that!! WOW that will be just an amazing room!! i too love those colors..you would never tire of them..soft and nice but still VERY striking w/ lots of movement!! for a twin...your side quarters won't be as visible as the tops but the mirrored effect will still be noticeable.
