Love these ideas. I want to hang a tapestry in my bedroom but since it was just painted, I didn't want to ruin the wall by doing all that hole drilling. Now I can hang a bunch of things using the Command Strips!

I sew a rod pocket to the back top of the quilt and then staple the pocket to the wall. I use very thin staples and they leave almost invisible holes in the wall. The quilts seem to float on the wall, no hardware showing. The staples are easy to remove when I want to change or wash the quilt.

I just hung a quilt in the living room using "Hang it Dang It" rod. Just one hole for the nail and it can be a small one. Works perfectly and is self leveling when you follow the directions. They are expensive though.

I am thinking...this is a great IDEA!!! I have a wall that I have a rug on and thinking of making a quilt for the wall and this would be perfect!!
