He put it together, I cleaned it and lemon oiled it and it looks fantastic. How to fasten the quilt to the bars? There are multiple little tack holes in the bars so I assume that was how it was done way back. Does anyone know, other than C clamps, how to anchor the quilt without damaging the fabric? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. This just proves that being a "pack rat" can sometimes prove to be a good thing.
