I make two sleeves that are hand stitched to the top of the quilt and the bottom of the quilt. We insert wooden strips that my husband cuts down from his stock (poplar). That being said, you could have someone cut sturdy wooden strips at a home improvement center. He uses wood that measures 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" wide, 1/4" thick and then slightly shorter than your sleeve. This is so it does not stick out pass the We insert the wooden slat into sleeve, pull back the quilt just a bit and he screws the wood to the wall thru the sleeve. He uses dry wall anchors and the end result is very sturdy. For cleaning, I vacuum the quilts. This system has worked well for us.
