The compression hanger to display my quilts is finished! I love finishing projects! I found the tutorial on Pintrest to make it myself. In the amount it would have cost me to buy the hanger somewhere else completed, I was able to do it in less than half.
Here are some pictures of the supplies I used: decorative trim, cabinet knobs with screws, sand paper, wood stain and polyurethane (thanks to Donna for lending me). Not shown is my drill and paint brushes used. I did have to buy countersink drill bits so that I could sink the screws into the wood so they would stick out and make holes in the wall. I made sure to use gloves when staining; even then I got stain on my fingers that took a day to completely wash off.
Below is the test run to make sure the hanger would hold the quilt and the screws matched up in the right place.
The final part was sandwiching the quilt into the hanger and leveling it on the wall. I used 3M command strips instead of picture hooks because it gives me the flexibility to place the hanger higher or lower on the wall depending on the quilt size. I'm excited to get holiday themed quilts made so I can display them for each season!
