How can I display my author quilts?
+9
I have 5 quilts that authors and illustrators signed and designed. They are stored in pillowcases now. I want someplace to keep them where I can keep them safe yet enjoy them. Take them out easily and look at them.

Bonita: maybe this will help (you could also rotate them... for changing a look by the seasons, etc.)

Can you make or buy a quilt ladder so you can display them? I have quilts tucked away too but no one ever gets to see them! Here's one way to DIY one!

They would make a cute head board for a bed or wall feature.
Hello Bonita,
don't know how big your quilts are, maybe you could have them framed, or make a long thin pocket on the reverse, in which you could thread a pole. Make them in to curtains or curtain for a door using the above method or by using curtain clips. Then you could alternate them as you desire...............
I would definitely hang them on the wall.

You could have built a leaning quilt rack like a giant one sided ladder. Make it the width that best displays the quilts and secure top rails to wall. You can rearrange as you want.
Hi! A glass display cabinet is another approach to display and keep them accessible! Enjoy!
Here is an idea I found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhpfK_SNFeA
Hang one up a month and change it put it on a curtain rod on the wall
Under the bed boxes on wheels would allow you to store but easily access them.
