I go to Lowe's and they have curtain rods always on clearance and a bag of hanging clips. You put the rings on the rod and then hold your hangin up nad use the clips to attach them. They hold up to full size quilts no problem. I love the fact that the clips hold it and do no damage. The hanging sleeve is good to. Dollar stores have rods fro curtains and you can adjust the sizes.

I use two Command hooks and a small brass curtain rod. Make the hanging sleeve an inch or so narrower than the quilt top and the hooks and rod won't show at all.

I have used round plastic rings, sewn to the back side of the quilt then a nail in the wall where each ring is...

I also like using a cafe rod to hang my wall quilts :)

Great idea! How did you get your cat to stay asleep while you took the picture? Mine would have waked up and walked on the quilt before I could have taken the picture.

He probably was tired out from telling me how to do things He is my own personal quilt police He even tries to get between me and the sewing machine

Especially when the hanging isn't going to be a permanent "installation," I use old sewing machine needles to pin them to the wall--they are very strong, almost invisible, and leave only teeny holes!

I use old sewing machine needles to fasten my quilts to the wall. One in each corner does the trick. Use a small hammer to secure them. They will pull out easily when you are ready to remove them and leave a very tiny hole.
