My wall hangings vary in size from full bed size quilts to tiny ones. I hang a lot with stick n sew velcro. Sew the soft bit to a strip of hemmed fabric slightly wider than the velcro (I use the 2" for big quilts and 1" for smaller ones). Then slip stitch this to the back - it should be about half an inch shorter than the width of the quilt at each side and I put it at the top, just under the binding; then the sticky part - I HAVE been known to stick it directly onto a painted wall! What you should do is stick it to a batten of wood and screw it to the wall - but DH isn't always here when I want him! Anyway, the one's I've stuck directly to the wall are still hanging there, no problems - but if I try to get the sticky off I'll probably wreck the paintwork! Its very easy to take the quilt down to wash, though (leave the sticky part behind, obviously!)

Sorry it's hard to get a good pic as it's the hall and I can't get far enough away! It's over 4' square.

Showing the velcro - got lots of flash back from the cream wall but can't enhance it anymore - hope it's clear enough. It's been up there for over 2 years!
