Collection: Quilt Hangers

Which size do I need?

Measure the width of your quilt.

• Small #C2135 — rod extends 21" to 35" — fits quilts 21" to about 40"
• Medium #C3563 — rod extends 35" to 63" — fits quilts 35" to about 68"
• Large #C63104 — rod extends 63" to 104" — fits quilts 63" to about 110", king size included

Your quilt can be about 5" wider than the hanger's longest setting and still hang properly.

The ranges overlap on purpose. If your quilt fits two sizes, think about the other quilts you plan to hang on that wall, not just this one. The rod adjusts, so one hanger serves your whole rotation — pick the size that covers the quilts you'll swap in later.

Your quilt needs a sleeve

The rod slides into a sleeve sewn to the back of your quilt. That's what keeps the hardware hidden and the quilt flat. The sleeve needs enough slack to take the rod without distorting the front. You can buy a pre-made sleeve such as the Quilters Hangup, or sew your own.

What goes in the wall?

Most quilts go on drywall, and for that a small nail is the quickest, easiest thing. Put the nail in the wall and hang the quilt with the hanger bracket already attached, exactly like hanging a picture. You don't need a stud, a molly bolt, or any special hardware — even a king size quilt weighs 15 lbs or less, so think how small a 15 lb picture hook is. Any of our hangers will hold any quilt that fits on it.

A nail isn't your only option — adhesive picture hangers work well for smaller quilts.

Whatever you choose, two things matter: it has to fit through the hole in the hanger bracket — 1/4" on the Small and Medium, 3/8" on the Large — and it has to sit low enough that it doesn't protrude above the top of the quilt where you'd see it.

Don't screw or nail the hanger bracket itself to the wall. It's almost impossible to do by design because your quilt is meant to hang on the nail, making it easy to change quilts whenever you like.
