I saw a really nice quilt hanging unit that uses two powerful bars of magnets to hold the quilt. I just can't remember the name, but it was quite nicely made and made changing a quilt very easy.
I just found one similiar its called "easy display".
Here is another

These are quilts I use and, when they're not in use, I'd like to display them. I don't like sleeves on my bed quilts, personal preference. And I have a few of my grandmother's quilts that I might like to put up occasionally. Since they're not going to be permanently hung, I don't want to add sleeves.

Forgot to say that I won't be needing this wall for a design wall. I rearranged my sewing room and made space there for the design wall. This wall is in my finished basement across from the LA.
I'm really thinking, that because I want to hang larger quilts, that the long clamp type would be better to keep them from stretching since the weight is evenly distributed. But I was wondering if anyone has used this kind and what they think of them. They're not cheap and I don't to make an expensive mistake.

I have used those big pushpins. They leave VERY small holes. After renting this house for 11 years, we are moving. I used those command strips and they pull off part of the wall...YUCK. I used a rod with them. Next house I will stich with pushpins.

I mounted a large wooden curtain pole above my bed. It has a quilt folded over it. I can change it easily. Also could fold several for a dIfferent look. Or layer them. Being so easy to change is good as I will not be tempted to leave one there long enough to be damaged. Years ago I tacked velcro to the wall and whipped the other side to the end of the quilt and held it to the wall that way.

I would go to the time and trouble of attaching the sleeve. Using clamps may cause permanent damage to your quilts. I automatically prepare a hanging sleeve on all my quilts. If the recipient doesn't want the sleeve, they can remove it.
