My sister displayed an old quilt above the head of her bed. She had a long shelf with a hanging bar under the shelf, but a decorative curtain/drapery rod would work just as well. Just an idea. It is so fun to read postings like yours--having been married in 1955, I don't think of the 50's as old, but I know it is. Just time is so different depending on where one is (age-wise) when viewing it! thanks for sharing. It is a beautiful quilt.
