I don't worry about my walls since I figure I can always spackle, so I use thumb tacks (NOT push pins, but the old-fashioned flat thumb tacks). I slide one
thumb tack into the hanging sleeve on each side and then push into the wall. It does mark the walls, but not as much as a nail. Probably doesn't help in your situation, but it's all I've got. I've never tried the command strips, but a friend used them to put a clock on the wall. The clock was much lighter than what the command strips were rated, but it fell off the wall and broke. I don't know if that is a common experience or not. I guess I'm saying that if you try the command strips, you should make sure there's nothing underneath the wall hanging that might be broken if it falls.

How do you hang your quilts? My husband doesn't like putting nails ,screws anything that would mark the walls.
I've seen some quilt hangers on http://www.creativequilts and wondered if any of the TQS community had tried them.
One way would be to use "Command hooks" they are brilliant as they don't mark the wall in any way and I think I could use a piece of doweling to put through the quilt and then put it onto the Command hooks.
I would be greatful for any ideas.
The quilts will just be wall hangings so not too heavy.
Happy quilting
