Things To Remember When Preparing For Quilt Displays

By Ericka Marsh


Self expression has been proven to have a lot of benefits. Aside from it allows us to improve our focus on details, it also helps us unleash our creativity. This is something that is fulfilling in itself. By creating something that we can really call as our own, we are recognizing our own responsibility for the item.

For some people, their creativity has not only been a source of recreation. It has also turned into a business. Setting up quilt displays is one good example. You can do this out of hobby. As long as you have a quilt to show, you can always have a display of it. And then there are those who are also using this for business. Either ways, you will have to keep your finished item well protected to retain its brilliance.

But just because you already have a finished product to display does not mean that you can immediately go ahead with it. There are some considerations that you will have to make. Also, it can be of big help if you take precautions in protecting the material. Displaying it in the open attracts all types of hazards that has the potential of damaging it. Be sure to have these things in mind.

Find a good place with less traffic. This means looking out for those places which are not always frequented by people. While its good to show them of the nice quilts that you have in store, you do not want them destroying it. Also, the more exposed it is, the higher the tendency for it to attract dirt, which can in turn destroy the fabric.

Absence of kids and pets. Of course, you cannot totally hide the quilt from them if you plan on displaying it. But you can at least do something to make sure that they do not get to play with it as well. Little kids love colors and play and they have the tendency to get their hands on to anything that look flashy. To prevent them from ruining anything, its best if you keep the finished product away from their prying hands.

Right illumination. The right touch of light can make or break the appeal of the quilt. If the place is dark for instance, then putting some light on at the corners of the room or any other area may be a good idea.

Method of display. Placing it on top of the bed is one. Hanging it on walls is a different story. You can be as creative as you want to be when talking about displays. You will be the one who will set it up after all. You know best how you want it to appear.

Accessories. You do not always look for this. But if for some instance you decide to use a hanger in hanging the material or a set of clips to attach them somewhere, then you better start looking for the best quality of accessories that are available in the market.

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.
