Displaying My Quilts

My cousin gave me this idea and I just had to do it. I went to Home Depot and purchased a 1 x 2 for only .99. They came in 8ft lengths so I asked them to cut them in 1/2 and they did so for no additional charge. Then I rounded up some "chip clips", aka clothes pins and some Gorilla Glue. I glued the clothes pins to the board and allowed to dry over night. Something I didn't know was that Gorilla Glue expands, so I'm telling you this so that you won't use as much as I did. The next day, I screwed them to the wall and clipped my lil quilts in place. This method of hanging them allows for quick changes anytime I want a new scenery to view. I'm going to spray paint them white to blend in with my wall. I think this will allow my quilts to pop off the walls more.

That is a great idea. Reminds me of the old classrooms and how they would display kids artwork and essays and such. Super easy thing.
Your quits are great too.
