Support Your Quilt

When planning for a quilt to be hung on the wall, be sure to include extra fabric for a hanging sleeve. This tube of fabric should run the entire width of the quilt and be deep enough to accept the dowel or rod that will be attached to the wall.

No Sunny Spots, Please

Quilts, old or new, should never be displayed in a sunny area. Sunlight will cause premature fading of the quilt colors.

Acid-Free Storage

The safest technique for storing a quilt that is not being displayed is to wrap the quilt in acid-free tissue and place it into an archival storage box. Support any folded areas with rolls of tissue to prevent creases. Remove from the box every few months and refold so the creases arenīt always in the same areas of the quilt.
