avgquilter = Love the gun case idea. Your quilts are beautiful! I also love how you included the old machines!

I have a friend who purchased an oriental screen at a garage sale. It's the kind with 3 panels on hinges. She removed the panels, hangs the quilts on the bar that formerly held the panel, and rotates her quilts with the seasons. It is such a cute and effective way of displaying her quilts, I've been on the lookout for a similar screen ever since!

I have one of the glass curio type cabinets made by Kerry's Collectibles from Texas. Bought it a few years ago at one of the Pa quilt shows. It's a beautiful piece, great workmanship and I'm more than very satisfied. I have some quilts folded in it and there are also rods where you can hang quilts. Have it in my Great Room Right now have about 6 0r 7 quilts in it.
I also use quilt racks. I bought 2 at a store in Lancaster Pa. Each holds 3 at a minimum, depending how folded.
This way I get to display my work.

Here are pictures of how I display mine. I would love to throw some over the backs of my couch and loveseat, but not while the cat lives here. I had been looking for an old painters ladder and when I finally found one, couldn't get it home. So I showed my husband and he built me one. It sure helps in covering a very tall wall. The second picture is of my grandmother's cabinet. I wish I knew what she used it for. My husband refinished it for me and I have room for many more quilts. The third picture is the rail in my husband's loft overlooking our living room. I have two more sections of rail that I can use to display quilts. By the way, I love the sideways ladder in quiltstringz picture from Pinterest. Will have to show the husband that picture too.

I display some on old antique ladders fold them over each rung...Folded on top of chests and tables..Hang on curtain rods with curtain clips. You can find thos Quilt Display trunks in a few places...JC Penney use to carry them thru their website resonably priced and I think if you ck Targets website also...

I have a cabinet with glass that I have my old quilts in but I have a shelf over my tv that is not very tall (about 11 inches) that takes a rolled quilt very nice. (Shelf is in a book case type tv cabinet.)

This one only hangs one quilt but since I didn't see anything like it in the posts, thought I'd share. We originally saw the idea at a LQS. My DH took a look and then made on for me and one each for a few of my friends & family.
