First, beautiful job! I love the colors too.

Second, this year we had a quilt show, and a round table cloth quilt was one of the entries, so it of course did not have a "sleeve" or whatever.

We came up with the idea of using tiny, tiny, alligator clips (bought at hardware store), and fishing line strung to pins in the wall. The pins were very tiny, so didn't damage the wall, and the it was all but invisible, but allowed the quilt to hang in a perfect circle, instead of having droopy edges!

For your quilt, I would say one clip for each point (top and sides only) would probably do it. The fishing line could be only an inch or so long even, so it would be more invisible.

Good luck, let us know if you find a way that works for you.

This is what I mean, hope you can see.
