Simple Tips For Successful Quilt Displays

By Ericka Marsh


A lot of us like to create something. May it be cooking something delectable, writing a short story and even doodling, having a sense of ownership of something feels like a fulfillment. Of course, this may not be true to all as we have different interests. But when it comes to expressing ourselves, crafting something personal is one of the most common ways to do it.

There are many ways on how we can show our creativity. But all of them goes back to the basic thing about what we like to do. Creating quilts is one method by how one can express oneself. It can take time depending on the complexity of the design. But for those who like creating the craft, the time spend is worth it once they get to see the finish. Quilt displays are among those things that they can do to showcase their craft.

If you have some collection of it yourself, then showing them to people can be a good idea. Who knows, some of them might just even be inspired to make their own. Or better yet, invest on your skills and make it a business. When you prepare for display, there are things that you should always remember. Take a look.

Strategic place. By this, we mean those areas that do not have much presence of people. There are quilters who choose vacant room for this. They lay the quilt down on the bed. If they want to show it to other people, they can just invite them in.

Your pets and kids. Its fun to have them around. But sometimes, their play can be too messy. It may be fine if they are just playing in your backyard or in a wider space. But when they start moving around the area where you place your quilt, then you should see a red flag. They can damage the item while they are playing. Put your creation somewhere safer.

Go for right illumination. This is more like for the aesthetic appeal of your display. There are designs with dark dominant theme. If you do not place it in areas with the appropriate lighting, you may end up not getting the desired look that you want it to have.

Display style. Next thing that you have to think about would be the method that you will employ once you put up the quilt. Would you like to hang it or will laying it down at a flat surface be better. Of course, this is also dependent with the place that you chose.

Find high quality accessory materials for support. Last but not the least, choose high quality accessories that you want to use. This can include the hanger, the back board, clips and all other things that you will be using for the display. Aside from the issue of durability, you should also ensure that the materials will not harm the quilt.

Creating a piece of quilt is not easy. But damaging it is. To keep harm away from it, its your responsibility to set it up the right way. Know the options that you have and choose well.
