Love the chicken quilt..those blocks are really cute!!!
K..great idea on the saw blade for the little ones. I love your stairway!
I use the triangles (don't know what you call them), like Izy for the smaller stuff and then sometimes I go to the pond and cut cane...its even cheaper than the saw blades....its free! I wrap it with plastic wrap just to make sure it doesn't damage the quilt in some way and then tie a little hanger to the center..it works just fine.
Basically, you can hang it however you want :lol:

this is the main reason why i learned to run flexible wire or plastic all along the back of the quilt with tabs to hold the odd shape and then i just sew on the sleeve for the shows.

I have a 48" wooden hanger mounted in the living room. So any wall hangings I make are 36-48" wide. LOL
I don't have a picture of it, but it is the compression kind - 2 pieces of wood with wooden knobs/screws. The back piece is mounted to the wall with screws. The quilt is placed between the 2 pieces of wood and round wooden knobs are screwed in tight enuf to hold the quilt.
Bought it in Shipsewana / Amish country. There's a wide assortment of sizes available.
