Man, was I hooked! Beautiful antique quilts are a weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collecting quilts is like eating potato chips, as once you have one, you then need a whole lot more. They don&#8217;t even have to be in pristine condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only do I love the patterns, but the colors and fabric of an antique quilt really catches my eye. When I buy one, I can just picture whoever stitched it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably sitting in a group, quilt top raised on quilt racks, stretched out as everyone sits happily hand stitching and chatting. It is such an idyllic scene that it makes me love and appreciate the handiwork even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you begin buying, you won\u2019t ever want to stop. You will definitely need to figure out where to display quilts. It\u2019s just too sad to think of them hiding in a closet, as they must be seen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-813x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"stacked quilts display\" class=\"wp-image-83453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-813x1024.jpeg 813w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-397x500.jpeg 397w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-768x967.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-1219x1536.jpeg 1219w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-1626x2048.jpeg 1626w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-600x756.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-150x189.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-collection-scaled.jpeg 2032w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Great Ways to Display Quilts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me start off by saying that I am not a quilt purist. I know there are certain ways to handle heirloom quilts that are quality that do not include flinging them around your house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what I believe most of us collect are not museum quality and therefore, the rules are more loosey goosey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, I like to subscribe to the thought that if I purchased them, they are mine.

But it&#8217;s a great way to show off amazing quilts easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the mix of different styles hanging together. As with anything colorful and vintage, keep quilts away from direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"quilt display\" class=\"wp-image-83458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-sofa-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the Back of a Sofa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I love adding to the pattern of a room by displaying a quilt on the back of a sofa. This works out best if the furniture is floating in the room, so the quilt can actually be seen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can visually bring warmth to a room, and cozy up your home decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stacked in a Collection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether inside a piece of furniture, displayed on built-in shelves, or stacked on a bench, folded quilts can add character and charm to a space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high closet shelf can even be used to display and keep quilts, as a fun little surprise when opening the closet. That area tends to be dead space and would look so cute with multiple quilts stacked up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-28-768x1024.png\" alt=\"collecting vintage with Bungalow 47\" class=\"wp-image-81277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-28-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-28-375x500.png 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-28-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-28-600x800.png 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-28.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An old china cabinet can be turned quilt cabinet as the glass will allow seeing the display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This option would work great for family quilts or favorite quilts that may have high sentimental value and are best not receiving everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-749x1024.jpg\" alt=\"quilt displayed on bed\" class=\"wp-image-83456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-749x1024.jpg 749w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-366x500.jpg 366w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-768x1050.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-1124x1536.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-1499x2048.jpg 1499w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-600x820.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-150x205.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-bed-Edited-scaled.jpg 1873w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At the Foot of a Bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another favorite way to display a folded quilt is at the foot of a bed. I love how easy it is to switch it out at different times of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A patterned quilt adds color and pattern to a solid coverlet. I love<a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+3wrPVwHo3jY0-Lu-pUFFaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;this one&nbsp;<\/a>for a base layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives the room a whole new look and a focal point color scheme to work from. Simply fold it the longest width of the quilt so it has room to drape to end on the mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"comfortable place to sit in a home office\" class=\"wp-image-82957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dude-pillow-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As a Furniture Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This option is great if you have a piece of furniture that has seen better days and you want to add a little charm and color to neutral furnishings, while covering up wear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For high traffic furniture, use a quilt that can take the abuse, such as a machine stitched patteren&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+TEGqPOJ3Zg9PQGNJm2zcpQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">newer quilt<\/a>&nbsp;that can easily be washed. Do not use an original quilt that might have real value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rolled into a Basket or Display Bin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This option is great if you have a quilt that has great color, but may be stained in an area so it can&#8217;t be laid out for full display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old lumpier quilts are best rolled up into a basket as well, since they tend not to lay very flat and may not be uniform for folding and stacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"quilt display\" class=\"wp-image-83455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-in-basket-Edited-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As a Wall Hanging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hanging quilts in a variety of ways can add a lot to your home decor and can even save on floor space. Quilts can be hung on a towel bar on an unused door, or simply draped over a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+SYUIAOcRWXpfDLWnm0xf7A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">curtain rod<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as an art form and think outside the box for the next great idea! Large quilts can fill up blank wall space quite nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great way to show of a sampler quilt, as it can be fully appreciated on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first house we ever owned (40 years ago) we had a cute little cottage type house in a quaint small town. It was all very Norman Rockwellian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first quilts I ever got was a blue, white, and yellow quilt in the Flower Garden pattern. I hung the quilt in our foyer on a big wall as a wall hanging and it was the focal point of the colors found in the main living areas. I loved that quilt so much! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My daughter now has it and I see it often when I visit her. I love that it is used and loved quite a bit, as the girlies spread it out and have picnics on it frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-on-table-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Hang Quilts on the Wall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To hang on the wall, I hand stitched a muslin hanging sleeve at the top of the quilt and inserted a 1 x 2&#8243; wood board cut to the width of the quilt. This allowed the quilt to hang straight without any sag. Curtain rods can also be used, along with rings and clips. Hanging a variety of mini quilts along a curtain rod would showcase them as small wall hangings and be soooo cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wall quilt racks are also easy to find at many craft shows around the country. Vintage wooden hangers can also display a small quilt easily that can be switched out frequently. As always, keep hanging quilts out of direct sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-575x1024.jpg\" alt=\"quilts displayed on a ladder\" class=\"wp-image-83454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-281x500.jpg 281w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-768x1368.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-863x1536.jpg 863w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-1150x2048.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-600x1068.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-150x267.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilts-on-ladder-scaled.jpg 1438w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On a Quilt Stand or Ladder Rung<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A more modern way to hang several quilts for a beautiful display is on the rungs of a ladder. I like how this looks a bit more cool than an old quilt stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+vUW-sGu9nZGKmLw6177Glg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quilt stands<\/a> are great as these quilt hangers can be made to fit a specific width to best display a pattern, and keep it accessible to use. Group vintage quilts together for display by color or similar pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fd-form-640f9460764cf7d58c8d3186\"><\/div>\n<script>\n  window.fd('form', {\n    formId: '640f9460764cf7d58c8d3186',\n    containerEl: '#fd-form-640f9460764cf7d58c8d3186'\n  });\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heirloom Quilts vs. New Quilts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important difference you will find between heirloom quality quilts and new quilts is the ease and ability of placing them in the washing machine&nbsp;to clean them. The age of a quilt must be taken into account before cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old quilts definitely need more care, as most are hand stitched, along with being, well, old. Isn\u2019t that the point? Do not hang quilts that are expensive heirloom quality as it could cause the fabric to become misshapen over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there are so many good companies making quilts that look vintage but can be machine washed, therefore used daily.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompanystore.com\/quilts-coverlets?SRE=HP__22_062623_HERO1_PROMO-SG_&amp;clickid=Tf5wwtWv2xyIRakS9IS%3A8V%3A4UkF2z8yxwz5nXg0&amp;iradid=219128&amp;ircid=3509&amp;irpid=116548&amp;iradtype=ONLINE_TRACKING_LINK&amp;cm_mmc=IRAFF-_-TCS-_-LTK%7C-_-Online%20Tracking%20Link&amp;utm_source=affiliate&amp;utm_medium=IRAFF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This company<\/a>&nbsp;has a great variety of patchwork block quilt choices that look old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"quilts on table\" class=\"wp-image-83457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/quilt-dining-Edited-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Use or Not To Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I always prefer to have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/5-tips-for-collecting-vintage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vintage collections of items that I can actually utilize<\/a>. That\u2019s better than stuff just sitting around collecting dust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quilts are great for that and are always on the move around here. Most casual quilt collectors aren&#8217;t important quilt historians, we just like the patterns and colors. Or maybe they are meaningful because they came from past family members like a great grandmother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think your quilt may have any historical significance, quilt appraisers would be able to give you information about it. They may even be able to address monetary value, quilt history, market demand, and estimate the quilt&#8217;s age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your antique quilt collection is just for fun, then displaying your vintage hand-made quilts in your home decor will add personal style to your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few different ways to use quilts, other than for display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table Runner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This option is great for smaller quilts, such as a baby quilt. Smaller quilts can also be layered over other tablecloths for a charming look in the dining room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decorative Tablecloth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a quilt as a tablecloth on a dining room table is great because so much of the pattern is visible. However, do not use where sloppy food could stain it. Not a choice for spaghetti night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But larger quilts can turn a boring folding table into charming decorative pieces for a party. Layer with breadboards, and stack your favorite vintage items. Serve the cake and let them admire your quilt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cake-display.jpg\" alt=\"table display on a vintage quilt\" class=\"wp-image-83944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cake-display.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cake-display-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cake-display-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cake-display-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cake-display-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lap Quilts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s all about the size quilt you have. Lap quilts are smaller quilts that are meant to just be large enough to keep you warm when sitting and watching tv or reading. Obviously this would NOT be the best choice for a larger quilt if you didn&#8217;t want to be stepping on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At my house, the dog would take it as an invitation to lay on it, so not the best option for a family heirloom! But smaller quilts make great options to snuggle up with anywhere that you might need an extra blanket, simply drape it on the arm of the sofa that gets the most use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"slanted ceiling with beadboard\" class=\"wp-image-83006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/beadboard_for_architectural_interest-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stains, Cutters and More Quilts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I never pass up a great designed quilt, if the price is right and it has great colors, just because it is not in good condition or stained. This is what is referred to as a \u2018cutter quilt\u2019. These can be made into quilted pillows, or other crafts. Check out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/crafts-using-tattered-vintage-quilt-pieces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my two favorite crafts<\/a>&nbsp;I\u2019ve made with cutter quilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I keep a small stash in my sewing room to make Christmas stockings or other small handmade items at the holidays. If you don\u2019t have a mantle, stockings can be hung on vintage wooden hangers anywhere you need a bit of whimsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/two-cutter-quilt-pieces.jpg\" alt=\"two cut pieces of a vintage quilt\" class=\"wp-image-84252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/two-cutter-quilt-pieces.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/two-cutter-quilt-pieces-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/two-cutter-quilt-pieces-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/two-cutter-quilt-pieces-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/two-cutter-quilt-pieces-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty quilt patterns can be cut and displayed in a variety of quilting hoops for an interesting accent wall display full of charm. Pinterest is full of great ideas of how to use these pieces. It&#8217;s a great way to get more life from a favorite quilt that has seen better days, that you don&#8217;t want to part with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A favorite quilt that has been torn or stained can be cut into a smaller wall hangings quite easily with new seam binding. That would be a great way to share an old family quilt with several members.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"crafts with quilt pieces\" class=\"wp-image-83450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christmas-stockings-with-quilt-pieces-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Holiday Quilts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the holidays I love to refine my collections and display them in a variety of ways.

From yard sales and garage sales, flea markets to antique stores and thrift stores, I have collected many.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But my favorite place to find them is an estate sale. Estate sales are great because you can see what type of environment the quilts have been living in over the years. I\u2019m super picky about purchasing old upholstery or fabric items, especially if they can\u2019t be washed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online sources such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eBay<\/a>\u00a0or auctions are great options too.\u00a0Etsy\u00a0has many crafters who will make beautiful quilts that look old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Ways to Display Quilts and Other Great Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed chatting about ways to display quilts all over your home, whether year round or just seasonally.
