A Genius Way To Hang A Quilt

 I just had someone ask me how I hung this quilt on the wall in my great room.

mystic photo for blog post,
Sometimes we don’t even realize it when we come up with and earth shaking idea.
I have used the wood slats from window blinds to hang my work for quite a while as I have a lot of blinds we no longer used. They make a great flat device to put in the casing/rod pocket. 
Each piece I finish has it’s own slat that is labeled. No more trying to find a metal hanging bar from an older quilt that fits! There are small holes in the end of each slat to hang it. I had always used nails.

BUT THE GENIOUS IDEA HERE HAPPENED WHEN I COULDN’T FIND NAILS THAT WERE THE PROPER SIZE.
I LOOKED IN A DRAWER OF ODD ITEMS AND THERE WAS A CONTAINER OF T PINS.

We tried it and they were the perfect “nail”!

I will be using these from now on.

Another great idea!!! I remember you suggested we use the 'slats' for our group quilt??? Right??
