Decorating with Quilts

Below are just a few ways I decorate with quilts in my home. Nothing is fancy, but it all makes me happy.  

If you Pin any of my photos, kindly include a link back to my blog. Thank you! :)

    I'm so glad I 'found' you, Taunja! Love your decorating ideas. Would you please tell me the size of your chicken wire frame and the quilt block in it?
    Thanks so much,
    Gail

      Thanks so much Gail! The square frame was 16 x 16" (inside measurement) and I filled it with the chicken wire myself. The Moda Love mini quilt is 12 x 12". I do have a blog post on this project if you need more info! http://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2016/07/moda-love-mini-in-vintage-picnic-and.html

      Thank you! I made mine similar to yours, over a year ago (oops!) and really like it on my wall. Working on the Window Garden quilt now. You continue to inspire me!

      Thank you so much Cheryl! Your kind words are a pick-me-up today. We just moved from that much loved home, and I am missing it and all my quilt spots! ;)

    Can you tell me what patterns you used for the Green and Red wallhanging, the orange and black wall hanging. Also what patterns you used for the red car with a christmas tree and the red and white leaf wallhanging on the white window? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hi Patricia! The red and green wall hanging is the free Moda Love Pattern. Info can be found here:
    http://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2016/12/moda-love-quilt-for-christmas_6.html

    The car pillow was a pattern originally part of FQS's Snapshots Quilt Along, with a variation on the top of the car from Grey Dogwood Studios. This post includes links to the patterns:

    Finally, the red and white leaf is a pattern from Lori Holt's book, Farm Girl Vintage. Here's a link to info about that. :)

    Hello! Love your blog and IG. Question about displaying quilts...how did you hang the quilts without a rod? I can’t tell by the picture.

      Most of the quilts where you CAN'T see the rod there is actually a rod, but I've used a small wooden dowel from the hardware store, rather than a decorate rod. I always make sure my sleeve is 1" shorter than the sides (on both sides) so that I can hang it with a "blind" rode (dowel) if I want to.

      Occasionally on a very small mini quilt, like 12" x 12", I just tack it directly to the wall with very tiny, thin brad nails.

      Thanks for stopping by! :)
