Thanks Susan. Then I had to figure out how to hang it on the wall. The backing is an old sheet, so I just used a hot glue gun and tacked it to the wall. I figure it's never going to move, and I wasn't that worried about the back. It worked well, it is hanging nice and flat against the wall.
I am thinking about doing the same with the sampler quilt hanging over my bed. I used tacks and it is starting to sag.
