I would like to know how you ladies hang up your wall quilts. If I do not intend to drill a pole to the wall for hanging my quilts, what else could I do?
|
I sew a sleeve to the back of the quilt--then you can use a curtain rod or my husband cuts a piece of wood the size of the quilt minus 1 inch x 1/4" and I screw in the smallest eye hole screw I can. That means I can hang it with just 2 tiny brads in the wall. I've hung quilts up to 60 inches wide using this method. I also used the sleeve technique to turn an old quilt into a curtain. Sometimes if you ask at the hardware you can find thin lattice type strips that they will cut to the size you need. I just have a handy hubby who always comes to my rescue (he raises an eyebrow at me, but does it anyway)

I take a square and fold it in half wrong sides tog to form a triangle and put one in the top two corners and sew in down while I am putting the binding on then you can put a flat board inside and hang on push pins on the wall

:XD: :thumbup: |
I'm lazy and I don't like making the sleeve for the back so I've used decorative curtain rods that you buy the rings for and then you can just clip your wall hanging with these.

LOL I just hate sewing on rod sleeves or those handles so this is just easier for me

Do you have a photo of how this looks like with the flat board? I can't really visualize from your message. :P |
