I have several stacked on a bookcase in my sewing room.
In the winter I always put one on the couch in time for Xmas.
But best of all I like my antique ladder I have in the living room.
These are the lap quilts I quilted using the 'big' stitch.
How do you display your quilts?

I love how you display your quilts, wonderful!

I always give my quilts away. I don't even have one to display.

Isn't that sad, but I'm working now on my first own quilt. My friend said it was time, after over ten years, to make myself one.

I'd listen.

Love your ladder. I have 2 in quilt hangers on the walls in our basement. (I rarely go down there to look at them) I have my avatar on the wall in my living room. Your idea is wonderful. Hmmmmm. Another project for DH.

I keep them in the closet and rotate which one is on the couch. Even in the summer I put a thin lightweight quilt on the couch. I have to display them somewhere :)

Your ladder is a great way to display you quilts. Very cute. My quilts are on the walls of the computer room, in the hall, in the hall and in my sewing room. I also have a glass case for the folded ones.

I work on a farm & have talked to my boss about getting an old picking ladder to use in my sewing room for quilt display. Now if I can just get my DH to come in his truck & pick it up without too much fussing over me bringing more "stuff" into the house LOL
