Symphony of Quilting Challenge - Week 03


The use of a hook to display your quilt Quilts

If you want to display your quilt appraised, one of the best ways to do this is with a quilt hanger. Good quilt hangers are made of wood with a shelf above it to put other articles that will decorate the area.

One of the important things to remember when quilt show is sure to choose an area with low light, the average humidity is at a comfortable level ventilation. If you display your quilt in sunlight or artificially lit area, it will irreversibly damage the colors.

Quilts were made to lie on a bed that distributes the weight of the quilt uniformly throughout its entirety. Also you can to layer blankets on the bed, as necessary, and spread a sheet on top of quilts to protect them dust, sunlight and the like. If you have pets, they also want to protect their quilts.

Some ways to accomplish this while showing his work includes:

  • A complete wall shelf with a rod to hold quilts
  • Use a free standing frame hanger
  • Hang your quilt on the back of a chair
  • Ladders are ideal for display and protection of their quilts

You will need using a tissue acid-free paper to fill the creases. In addition, regularly re-form to avoid permanent wrinkles.

If you want to deliver your quilt on the wall, be sure to sew a sleeve designed to hang on the top edge. Then install the blanket suspension on the wall, and run the rod through hanging sleeve, fixed to the rear suspension. If you have a small quilt, you can also use wire hangers, too. Another idea is to hang the quilt hanger rod from the ceiling using brackets and hang like a curtain.

Never, never use things like nails, pins or staples as these do the holes get bigger due to the weight of the quilt as time passes. If you display your quilt properly, you will have a great conversation piece and preserve at the same time.
