This is really not large or heavy enough to be tough to hang; more of a throw pillow size, or one typical quilting square with borders.

Then you can slip a dowel or curtain rod through the sleeve and hang that on supports.<BR/><BR/>You can just push pins through the top into the wall, but 1) that'll make holes in the fabric, and 2) depending on how big or heavy it is, the quilt will sag between the holes (making the holes wider).<BR/><BR/>The most non-invasive way is the quilt-hanger objects, like others have mentioned. They're usually ok for crib and baby size quilts but full-size quilts are sometimes too heavy for them unless the holder goes along the entire top of the quilt (picture 2 pieces of long wood, pressing together, with the quilt between).<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your doctor's appointment, I hope the symptoms clear up.Big Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669587398699403481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1160502634988758182006-10-10T13:50:00.000-04:002006-10-10T13:50:00.000-04:00If it has a pocket running along the back, you can...If it has a pocket running along the back, you can use a rod-type hanger to put through the pocket and then hang from the wall. If it doesn't have the pocket (or even if it does and you prefer this look), you can use the wooden block hangers, like these-http://tinyurl.com/n6vfk<BR/>This isn't to endorse this site or this brand but to give you an idea of what they look like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1160498780263602502006-10-10T12:46:00.000-04:002006-10-10T12:46:00.000-04:00I've always seen them hanging from a rod like Dave...I've always seen them hanging from a rod like Dave suggested, and I believe the bottoms are weighted with the same type of rod.<BR/><BR/>Poor firefighters- noone's questions are harder to answer than preschoolers'!<BR/><BR/>The doc will come up with answers & will cure you.

It's beautiful country.<BR/>As for hanging the quilt, I always make a fabric sleeve on the top back to run a rod through. Did the quilter do that? (Most do that these days, so people can hang them without damage.) It's easy enough to do a running stitch by hand to put one on. Or, as Maureen suggested, there are various clips, clamps, and devices for hanging them. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
