I have a permanent rod in my dining area where I hang one of my quilts. Visitors seem to like the idea that it's on display, plus it adds a personal touch to my home. I change it every 6 or 7 months so that the sun won't fade it.
Also, I have a large rack which was probably intended for towels. I fold them neatly and store them on these racks. This is in the computer room/den. Visitors are curious when they see them. I can take them down and show them off. The idea is to have, at least, some of them in plain sight so that people know you're a quilter when they enter your home!
