In the past I've done curtain rods...but now have a newly built hse and refuse to put holes in the walls so I strictly use command strips...16lb weight strips hold my heavy quilts fine, no falling or issues. Since they are long strips I cut them in half and use the half w/pull off wall on the wall and I take the other half and stick on back of quilt and then put a pin thru it from the front to make sure it holds. The secret is once in place remove the quilt and let the wall strips adhere over night without the weight of the quilt. I've hung up to 64L x 40W...I do allot of switching out by leaving the wall strips in place and then lay the quilt top I remove on the flr with the new quilt to be hung top to top and take the quilt strips off aligning placement exactly as it is on the removed quilt...Pin to new quilt and Viola have a new quilt hanging and I'm not constantly buying Command Strips...I do that w/all my quilts and I have allot hanging and none have fallen off the walls.
