I like your idea too. I'd steal the shower idea, but my curtain is already a quilt. Oh and your Lonestar looks great!
I use the command hooks in my sewing area, I have them attached to plastic bins to hold mini WIP's and in front of my base cupboard doors and drawers to hang my rulers. The small ones fit on the drawer fronts and my 6 x 12 and 6 x 24 work great on the doors.
Lori P, what a great avatar picture! Tell us more..

On my plaster-over-brick walls in the cottage I use Command hooks to hold cafe curtain rods.
I pinch brass cafe curtain rod clips on the top of the quilts and thread them onto the curtain rods.
These are easy to remove from the quilts; look more decorative than the bulldog clips; leave no mark on the quilt when attached right at the edge of the binding; can be purchased at Walmart and any other number of places cheaply.
I've used them for decades to hang quilts in my homes.

I use those hooks with the chrome hook, the cheaper ones. Then I take a bamboo stick and with a double thread sew my quilt to the bamboo using big stitches and then place one end over one hook and then the other. It looks cool and holds very well.
