my sweet h can't keep things simple, so he hung a line from a hook on the house to a huge tree. on the tree, he has another hook that the line hangs OVER. to keep the line tight enough to support the quilt without sagging, he ties the tree-end of the line to several old window weights (he thinks there is a use for everything 25 yrs later, so never throw anything out). the hooks are high enough for a 95 x 95 quilt. he runs the line thru the sleeve. i would lay it on the grass, but i have to say it looks great this way. if i do say so myself. LOL2x.
