So, I'm sharing some of the ways I use and display my quilts in the hopes that some of you will do the same and give me some fresh, new ideas!
This quilt display rack is on a wall in my kitchen. I use it for wall hangings that I rotate seasonally. The Valentine quilt just came down and Aquarium went up.
I keep a quilt on this chair in our family room and have another over a chair in the living room. I also have a pile of quilts on a shelf in the family room; they are handy on very cold nights when we watch tv.
In our hallway upstairs, I mounted two curtain rods, one above the other, and I have six quilts folded over the curtain rods in an informal display. A similar idea is to hang a folded quilt over the stair railing. This is a very nice look when you have section of bannister that is visible from the floor below.
How do you use your quilts?
I got this idea from my mother-in-law. It's how she would hang afghans in her bedroom. I now use it for a quilt in the bedroom. Go find a pretty, decorative bathroom towel bar and mount it. It looks really nice hung at waist level with one of your hand made quilts hung on it.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog today and am enjoying looking through old posts. Do you have a picture on your blog of the entire sampler quilt hanging over your red chair? I would love to see it. I love the little 9-patch corners.
