    Default Hanging technique for reversible quilt?

    I'm making a wall hanging that will be chenille on one side and a pretty tree panel on the back. I may want to reverse it for fall and spring, but my usual hanging technique won't work for that. I would appreciate any ideas you may have.

    Thanks!

    Making hanging tabs at the top of the quilt instead of a traditional sleeve would allow you to reverse it. You can google hang tabs for a quilt and there are several You Tube tutes and blogs.

    Or you could use something like these:

    I'm not sure how big your quilt is but I use command strips on my small-ish wall quilts. They work great.

    I have seen wooden holders that you can put on the wall, and they can be tightened to hold the quilt.

    ​Maybe the curtain rings with the little clothespin with teeth would work.

    I hang all my quilts using the nice look drapery rods with all the different nice looking hooks you can use. The rods expand to what ever size you want.

    I've made several simple sleeves that can be pinned to quilts that "become" wall hangings and then taken off when the piece is to be a quilt again.

    I was wondering the same thing. Hang tabs are a good idea. Kind of confused how this works with the binding though. I will google it tonight to find some directions.
