I give away all my quilts except maybe 7. And I've made so many quilts. I don't have any wall space to hang them. The ones I have are draped over my loveseat, couch, stuffed chair, bed and chair lounge. I only have small wall hangings in my sewing room. I have a tall piano, hutch, gun cabinet, giant mirror and pictures in my living room on the walls. No room for a quilt (even if I took down the pictures. The mirror has to stay and it's huge). My master bedroom is full of windows with nice curtains on them and two large dressers with mirrors, so no room there. My computer room has one wall that I have clips up to hang quilts to take pictures of them, but I guess I could hang a quilt there. I wish I had wall space. Draping them over furniture doesn't show the whole quilt, just a slice.

I've seen a few beautiful quilts on House Hunters. Mostly on the beds, but I think I may have seen the episode that you are talking about. If it is the same one she had a really gorgeous quilt hanging on the living room wall.

I think I saw that episode twice. She had very brightly colored quilts. A sewing room would be a priority for me too. I have a small room and share it with my 4 cats. I cut and quilt in the dining room also. HGTV and DIY stations is all I watch and not much. Our cable company is changing our channels and I didn't see DIY listed anywhere.

If you have a door that remains open you could drape it over the door, I have one I like to change at least with every season.

I found a space on the wall behind our stove.

My girlfriend has a PIZZA quilt in her kitchen! It looks delicious with all of the appliqued meats and cheese pieces on it. I want to replicate it and hang it in my kitchen!

Bless you for caring enough to take your MIL's quilts, I see so many in estate/yard/goodwills sales My heart hurts knowing some one cared so much to make them and no one in the family cares enough to keep them. I just hope my children caare more for mine.

I went on a Home Tour this past weekend and saw a couple bedrooms with handmade quilts. One was an appliqued quilt made with silk fabrics. Simply beautiful.
