My DH and I found a piece of really old wrought iron fencing about 3 ft side and 6 ft long, with some neat curliques on it. He cleaned it up, repainted it, and we leaned it against a wall & hung quilts on it. It works great. You can cover any thin rods with wrapping paper rolls - just cut a slit along one full side, and slip it over the rod. Even if it bends in some it will keep the quilt from coming into contact with the rod. It works great!
