I use a black curtain rod (you can buy them at target, home depot, etc.) to display my quilts at home. They usually will have some packages of rings with small clips that you can buy in addition to the curtain rod.
I like the above but now have found rods that ar similar but are made to hang from ceiling or wall. There are clips screwed to wall and you snap the rod into them. The clips on the rings them clip the quilt to it. It hangs much straighter and close to the wall..Leaves no room for waving. I bought mine at Menards
