I just lean it against the wall. For this quilt, I have put two small stools under it here in my room, to make it taller. In the picture I set it on top of a humidifier. It is all in one piece, insulation foam, I think it is. It comes in 8 by 4 foot pieces, but I cut the top two feet off of mine years ago. Sure wish I hadn't!

This is beautiful! Have you thought about doing a mirror image for the second quilt? Like a continuation of the first ending with the right edge of 2nd the same as the left edge of this one?

I really like your bargello quilt! Funny, your quilt inspector really takes his job seriously. To protect you at all times, from the camera! Too cute.

Yes, this is exactly what I plan to do!!! I am not sure how to figure out how to do that exactly, but I figure I can figure that out later. :) (Do you think I overused the verb figure? Looks like it to me...)

The second quilt may even be "easier" because I won't be trying to decide my pattern as I go. I will just need a good "quilt map."

I think it is beautiful! I love bargellos, and the colors of yours are perfect!! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

I love the idea of just turning it upside down--sometimes these kids of ours can be really helpful when we need to look at something in a new way!

Hot Rod seems to approve, though he seems more interested in posing, "Did you get my good side?" than in quilt inspection! :)

Loved Auntie V's idea to have the 2nd one a mirror image of the first. I was going to suggest that too and then saw you wll be doing that!! WOW that will be just an amazing room!! i too love those colors..you would never tire of them..soft and nice but still VERY striking w/ lots of movement!! for a twin...your side quarters won't be as visible as the tops but the mirrored effect will still be noticeable.
