I have done a few with a technique I found a long time ago. Use backing fabric (or muslin) and cut 12" squares (number of squares depends on size of quilt) fold the squares in half to form triangle, and in 1/2 again to make a smaller triangle. Place the raw edges at the top of the quilt and stitch down. Place these squares equal distances apart, so that there is about 6" between points. This is a matter of judgement. Heavy quilts require more squares. Stitch these squares down (points will "point" to the bottom of the quilt) and finish with binding in any fashion you choose. Tack the points down to the back (very little hand sewing!!!) and you're done!
The points form the pocket. You can use a longer rod to show on the ends, or use a shorter one, and hang on tiny nails (for small wall hanging) and no rod will show, just make sure the rod is secure under the outside pockets.
