At what size does a wall hanging become a quilt?? I know this sounds really weird to some of you. But once a person addes borders to a wall hanging, at what size do you consider it too big to be a wall hanging? I gave my sister a pattern for a wall hanging and she added borders, no the thing looks big enough to be a bed quilt...lol can someone settle this for us?

I have seen people hang bed quilts on a wall, I don't think there is a "certain" size, it is a personal preference :D:D:D
A quilt is a top/batting/backing that has been tied or quilted to hold the sandwich together... it can be tiny or a hundred+ feet long like one I saw online :D:D:D |
I make queen sized bed quilts but every one has found it's way to a wall. In fact, when we built the studio, I purposely put in an extra-long curtain rod on a blank wall so that I can display my most recent quilts.

If you ask me, it only depends on where it's hanging and that the "scale" be right. If there's lots of room, make a big one ... If it's a small space, make a small one. Not much help, maybe, but practical.

My opinion? ANY size if it is three layers and quilted in some way!
|
It could also depend on wall space. For me, it would have to be fairly small because I just don't have much wall to hang it.

I've hung bed-sized quilts on large walls. I'm just careful about sunlight, but we don't get all that much!!!
The other posters are right: It depends on personal preference really. |

I have cathedral ceilings. Anything goes! :)

if it's too small to be a quilt then it's a wallhanging or if it's big and you want to look at it all the time then it's a wallhanging.
