Two suggestions, tame the quilt by folding it and putting it across the foot of the bed of a plain covered bed or down comforter. It can then be viewed in only partial glory and used only when really cold. Second suggestion, I have a glass front cabinet, where I have folded quilts and you see them stacked on shelves, so in this case the quilt will be mixed in with others. I also use this cabinet for unfinished products and materials. It makes quite a statement color wise in the room.
