For quilts less than 24" wide, I put 2 triangles in the upper corners. Fold a square in half diagonally, stitch and turn right side out. Then hand sew to the upper corners. A dowel will slide into these triangle pockets easily or a section of a wooden ruler/yardstick works too or any flat piece of wood. I suppose a skinny spring curtain rod would fit in there too. If using wood, I just drill a small hole in the center to fit the brad I'll put in the wall. Then push the rod over the brad and you are done. If it's a larger quilt, then I use a sleeve sewn to the top edge. If the quilt has binding on it, put the sleeve under the binding. Then the top edge will get sewn on when you sew the binding on.
