Beware of those small blocks with ball bearings in them that are made for hanging quilts. They do not work well at all and would take at least 6 to hold up a lap quilt.
They are as dependable as those broom hangers with the balls inside that throw your mops and brooms on the floor. Ive got to try the curtain rod idea. |
JoAnn's sells drapery rods that would work perfectly and can be gotten at 40-50% off with a coupon.

I found decorative rods at Dollar General. Very inexpensive. I used clip rings from WM, but can see no reason why you can't drape your quilt over it.

I have used decorative tacks just under the binding. They were very inexpensive and I could also follow the quilt down the wall. On the 'small' piece I have over our bed which maches the quilt (of course) we used a piece of carpet tack - it is covering the round electric covers for lighting fixtures that were too low for the new headboard. Many ways to do hings. Also either Keepsake Qilting - and a few others - have large wooden clips you can use but they require large anchored screws into your walls
