My wallhanging quilts are lightweight and around 34" square so I placed the rings about 3" in on either side and made sure they were taut between the hooks so it didn't flop in the center. I know this isn't the most proper hanging technique but it does work.
wow that's great! where do you get those hooks? I think I might do that!
You can find them with the drapery accessories in Hancock Fabrics, and in Walmart with the sewing supplies. They're about 5/8" they're made of plastic. I buy them in bulk from Atlanta Thread and Supply (1000 in box) to use for making roman shades.
Oops, I just re-read that and you said HOOKS - you mean the plastic hang up hooks - you can find them just about anywhere. They're from 3M and called Command Brand hooks. They work on just about anything and no holes. They have a sticky base that removes with no mess just by pulling on the bottom of the strip - "Damage-Free Hanging".
