You would have to use the heavy duty 3M hooks and I'm not sure they'd still work on a large quilt. I tried some once on a wall hanging and the hooks I had on hand wouldn't hold the weight. I hang wall hangings on cafe curtain rods and whenever I give someone a wall hanging, I include the rod as part of the gift. I do have a large antique cathedral window quilt hanging on a large 3-inch dowel that is mounted on board with brackets, that my husband made.
