I've used all kinds of methods--mostly the sleeve on the back with a dowel through it--then a nail on each side. But a couple years ago I bought the wooden clips that KQ sells. they are nice. One nail in the wall for each clip and the clip has a screw to tighten to hold the top edge of the quilt. Can use 3 for about 48" and 5 for a longer quilt. Makes changing out the quilts for season pretty easy--esp. if the quilts are similar in size.

Love this method. I put a couple of these eye hooks with a cup hook that can screw into a wall also works.[QUOTE=Trapunta;7483312]I've used this method twice:

For years I've been stapling my wall hangings to the wall. It leaves a very tiny hole, much smaller than a nail or thumb tack. It's so much easier than putting a sleeve on the back or using a rod. Try it, you'll like it.

I make a two-part sleeve with a space in between the two parts. That way, you only need one nail or Command strip. I also have a curtain rod on 3 Command strips that I've attached ring curtain hangers with clips. I change these quilted wallhangings with the seasons.

For a quilt this small, I stitch 3 or 4 velcro squares on the back. I nail the "partner" part of the velcro to the wall. You need a nail with a head, not a finishing nail. Then I velcro it to the wall. Don't use sticky velcro. It'll pull the paint off when you remove it.

For smaller wall quilts (24" and narrower), I just sew a triangle ( a square folded diagonally, wrong sides together) in both top corners. If you use binding, they can go on under the binding and then they'll be sewn in by your machine. If you face the edges, you need to sew them on by hand. Then a piece of dowl or flat piece of wood, ruler or piece of a yardstick slips right in the pockets formed by the triangles. I drill a hole in the middle of the wood before it goes in the pockets made by the triangles. The brad I pound in the wall slips right in the hole.

I favor putting a sleeve on the back. Then use either a small curtain rod with brackets or a flat piece of wood.

I recently watched a video on this. But you must remember to do before binding. I'm not good at remembering.
