I have a curtain rod (white)on the wall and bought a bag of white clips to hang my quilts or wall hangings. That way if I want to change them out it's easy, remove the 3-4 clips, and done. Works like a charm.

I would go for the sleeve also. You might even put 2. One on either side to hang both ways up & down. Love the colors.

I use those wooden blocks for wall hangings, and they work really well. Craft stores like Michaels has thin wood shapes like flowers, stars or hearts that I paint to match the quilt and glue onto the blocks. It adds a little extra something!

Use a hanging sleeve, they are easy to make and easy to attach.. holds the quilt nice and evenly, and is easy to remove without any pulling....

I have made several tubes the length of the quilt rack. These can be pinned to the piece you want to hang but then removed when you want the piece to again be a bed quilt.

What a great idea. I think I'll have to borrow it!

I, too, have seen this. Get a decorative and decorative clips. that way, no damage to the quilt at all.
