I put three on one wall and two on the other wall, about the distance apart as my smallest quilt might be that I would want to hang there. Then I put a piece of curtain rod into the top sleeve. These are the old curtain rods that will slide to make the piece longer or shorter. Have the flat side of the rod away from the quilt so that it will contact the magnets well. A king sized quilt would probably need all five magnets.

This way you can change your quilts whenever you wish. They don't need to be the same width, as you just adjust the rod to accommodate the length of the quilt top. Nothing sticks out on either end as the rod has been adjusted to be just a bit shorter than the width of the quilt. You can't see anything holding it up. It comes down with just a good tug and goes up quite easily.
Love this idea! Just ordered my magnets from Amazon.
