2 Kinds of Quilters: How Do You Hang Your Quilts?

Which kind of quilter are you? Vote below.

Previously we asked how you stored your stash, what's on your design wall, how do you quilt your quilts, and how do you baste your quilts? This week we want to know, "How do you hang your quilts?" Push pins? A beautiful quilt hanger? OR, do you actually put them on your bed?

All 3! I have pinned small quilts to the wall, use nice hangers, and i have quilts on beds And the back of chairs and sofas. Everywhere!

I have hung only a couple of my quits on walls, using the 3M removable hooks and a curtain rod. The great majority of the quilts I make and actually keep, are folded over chairs, used on beds, or folded over the railing of my hallway, or a freestanding quit rack. I am currently thinking about making several of the ladder-style of rack that leans against the wall because my house is starting to look like a "padded cell"!!! I give away most of what I make, and I believe most people who receive them use for cuddling, or maybe to enhance their home decor. They are usually lap size.

I have quilts on all the beds and have a lap quilt folded on my couch. Used to hang small wallhangings in one room in my house. Don’t have big walls to hang large wall hangings on. Would never hang one with pins.

Gotta cuddle with my quilts. Put them to use keeping warm!

I also hang some and place others on the bed.

I hang mine like Jeanne 9091, with the exception that my 'hanging rod' is wooden lath, or a strip of wood that is the right size.

I used to help out with a local small fair and when offered T-pins and push pins to hang quilts and textiles with, I nearly went ballistic! "We've always done it that way." NOT ANY MORE!

Depends on the size, but if to big to hang usually just use as a lap quilt.

I don’t use either method. I buy a flat metal piece at the hardware store1 1/2” wide and drill a hole at the top end of the bar on both sides. I make my sleeve 1 1/2” shorter on each side of the quilt. I nail the bar to the wall and remove it on one end to slide the quilt onto the bar. I replace the bar on the wall and the quilt hangs against the wall straight and flat.

I need more than one box as well. Wall hangings are put on the wall with hangers, but bed size quilts go on the beds. It's not one or the other because I make quilts of all sizes.

I like to use the large 3M Command hooks with a narrow dowel in a sleeve. Sure makes it easy to take down and add something in a different size or shape.
