How to - attach a large quilt to (textured) wall?

Question

A heirloom quilt - passed down generation to generation. We'd like to display it as a wall hanging. The best way to do so, without gouging
quilt or walls (w/large holes, etc.) ? ?

Answer 1

Another way is to gat a piece of carpet tack strip and attach IT to the wall. Then just press the quilt to it. This way the quilt is fully supported.

Answer 2

Before you hang your quilt, to protect it, support it and keep it from sagging, or worse, ripping when it is hanging on the wall, you need to baste a rod pocket on the top of it, on the back. Just take a strip of cloth about 4" wide and as long as your quilt, and baste it on the back. This will allow you to put a rod through it, just like a curtain rod, and hang it from that. Then just put up curtain rod holders for it.

Answer 3

We mounted a drapery rod on the wall and have our antique quilt hanging over the rod. I take it down and refold it periodically just to change out the pattern.

Answer 4

I display mine this way.....I sewed in a strip of material across the top with a needle and thread using very large stitches so as not to damage it. I made a "pocket" like you see in kitchen curtains and then put a round drapery rod thru it and hung it like a drape. on the wall. This way it is supported 100% across the top.
