Your quilt is stunning and the piecing is remarkable. I love it!

For wall hangings, I like to use the method in this video:

It allows you to periodically rotate the piece, and is really super easy to do.

I think I would look at the location on wall and will it need weighting at the bottom. If it does it would use the type for wedding dresses.

Wow what a beautiful piece!!! No matter what you do, it will look stunning on the wall! Make sure you take a pic of it for us

Thanks for all the nice comments - believe me, my work doesn't always look that good, but this one just came together really well. The fabric is Cherrywood hand dyes, my splurge at Paducah last year (although they were not at the main show, but in a separate facility down the road) The colors are very saturated, and the fabric is almost sueded, but not quite. The youtube with the corners that was posted above seems like a great idea - wondering how well it would work on a piece this big. I've got a piece of dark brown linen that, if I am careful, should be enough for the back and binding. Next big issue - how to quilt it.

What a beautiful quilt!! I think just a grey binding would be great. I would use a narrow hanger with nothing showing outside the edges of the quilt.

Look at the Hobbs Thermore batting it is a very thin polyester and what they use a lot in quilted clothing. Here is a link to how to hang a guilt. This is a great idea and you know it has to be a good one since this is how some museums hang them. http://blog.shopmartingale.com/quilt...change-author/

Sorry that link actually contains several ways to hand quilts. I thought the first one was really cool, I couldn't get the link to work but here is a PDF which I had previously saved. Not sure if that will work

Walmart sells curtain rods that have clips that hang off the bottom. I use these and hang my quilts. You can buy them in any size. The LQS owner had a king quilt on one. I have more of a wall hanging on mine. They are wonderful and easy to replace the quilt with another one. It's like it was made for quilts!

Pellon has a batting called Thermalam. It is a much firmer batting that would make a wall hanging hang flatter. I found it at Hobby Lobby. It comes in fused and nonfused. It's a fleeced batting.
