How to Hang a Wall Quilt With Tabs

Hanging a quilt on your wall is a great way to display them.

Wall quilt hangings are a clever way to show off the fine work of the quilt maker, rather than keeping it folded away in a linen closet. While many people like to hang quilts by sewing a casing on top that can loop through a hanging rod, it is also possible to hang the quilt on the wall with the help of some heavy-duty Velcro tabs. The tabs are easy to use and will display the quilt for all to admire.

Things You'll Need

• Tape measure
• Pencil
• Heavy-duty Velcro tabs

Instructions

1. Measure the width of your quilt is and recreate the length on the wall by making two small dots with a pencil at the desired height. Draw two more dots approximately 2 inches inward from the edge of the actual quilt markings. Erase the original marks.

2. Unpeel a Velcro tab and stick one of the adhesive sides directly over one of the dots. Stick the other part of the tab 2 inches inward from the edge of the quilt. Repeat with the other side.

3. Press the Velcro tabs on the back of the quilt to the ones on the wall.

4. Attach two more Velcro tabs to the bottom corners of the quilt as it hangs. Press the bottom Velcro tabs against the ones on the wall.

Tips & Warnings

• Attach additional Velcro tabs, evenly spaced along the top of your quilt, if it is heavy enough that it begins to sag.
