Question for my readers
Is anyone aware of a safe way to hang an antique quilt on a wall to display it WITHOUT causing damage?
I have inherited several antique quilts (close to 200 years old) that I would like to display on a rod or the like behind headboards in the bedrooms. But I can't think of a way to do so without causing damage.
I went to JoAnn's yesterday and I was told that the way to hang a quilt was to sew a rod pocket onto it for the curtain rod to slide through. I pointed out that wouldn't this cause damage to the fragile fabric and got "oh."
So I bring the question to my friends here.
Anyone got a clue?

How about a whole bunch of those pants hangers that are large clamps? Using many of them would reduce strees on the quilt. They could clamp to the quilt and hang from a rod.
