I have had many wallhangings in my bathroom without any moisture problems. I will post pictures later as they are on another computer. I, too, like to make a trip to the quilt shop restroom to see what they have. Sounds wierd, but it inspires me to make something for my home. Am I spending too much time in there???LOL

When I first moved to New England, I began going to a LQS whose "sale room" WAS the bathroom!! They had renovated a huge old farmhouse - so the bathroom (minus the tub of course) is really big. Now they have added a real room for sale fabrics, but they still use the bathroom as overflow!

I love that the Keepsake Quilting store has wall paper in the ladies room that looks like swatches of fabric! I'll never forget it.

Just wash like you would anything else according to normal conditions. I would still check for mildew and mold since that can happen quickly. Vinegar along with ARM AND HAMMER work great for me. I wouldn't put anything in a glassed frame. The moisture would build up quickly in there.

I made a quilted shower curtain for a bathroom, actuallly it was a print of a quilt top so I added light batting & a backing, machine quilted along the designs, made button holes for the hangers, loved it. Very washable.
When we moved it didn't match any of the bathrooms in the new house so I made it into a tote for my class portable table & cutting mat. I'm getting a lot of mileage from that print.

Yes. One of our newer LQS bathroom has a huge quilt in it and it is beautiful!

If you are worried about mold or mildew on the quilt, use a longer nail to hang it. That way the quilt isn't hanging flush against the wall (pun intended!). I have mine about 1/2 inch away from the wall so air can flow behind it.

Everyone in my quilt guild was given a "candy bar" set of random scraps and directions as a Christmas gift from our leaders a couple of years ago. It made a small wall hanging about 24 X 36 maybe? Mine set the color theme in my bathroom and it has started more than one conversation.

It is not weird. I have found the same thing. I spend so much time in the bath enjoying the quilts i think I have to explain how much time i was in there when i do come out. LOL!
