I have an Amish cotton handmade quilt that I want to hang over my bed. It's approximatley 6 feet wide by 5 feet down, and not too awfully heavy. Kind of like a light bedspread weight. What's the best way? I want to keep it as simple as possible, and know hardly anything about decoration. Thanks for your time.

Check the back - it may already have a hanging sleeve sewn on. If so, use any type of decorative curtain rod. If there isn't a hanging sleeve, you could try sewing one on yourself. It's just a piece of fabric about 3" - 4" wide about 2" from the top edge of the quilt.
If you'd rather not sew anything to the quilt, you can buy quilt hangers. There are several different styles, and they come in a range of prices. There are small ones (a couple of inches, usually about $6 a piece) that you space out along the wall. You may need three or four for a quilt that size. There are longer decorative ones that are a but more expensive.
Check the link below for examples.

you can buy quilt hangars from a catalog that sells country stuff. or just make one. it's simply two strips of wood, the length of your quilt, held together by small bolts along one edge. place a protective liner between the wood and your quilt to avoid any staining from the tannins in the wood.

you will need to sew a casing on the back of your quilt. It is called a cuff.
Go to your local home improvement store and buy a wooden closet pole to run through the cuff. You can attach curtain rod holders on the wall to hold the rod or use pipe clamps.
Feel free to email me if you need more detailed description.
