What Have I Done?

A wallhanging? Me? No way.
I've always thought of quilts as treasures for wrapping around and
comforting.
I've never particularly understood art quilts or had any enthusiasm for
a modern, contemporary sort of abstract.
Nope. Not me. You all just carry on and I'll cheer you on but the
concepts escape me.
I made a string quilt. Began with square muslin blocks. Laid a red
strip on the diagonal and wandered off with warm colors in one direction and
blues/cools in the other. Just using scraps. Diminishing the scrap bin.
That's all.
Put it on the design wall.
It's wonderful. It's gorgeous. I can Not bring me to continue to
turn it into a bed cover. It needs its own wall just for being admired,
considered, thought about. I have created a wall hanging. Now what do I
do? I'm not in Kansas anymore. Polly



LOL Polly! So you accidentally wandered off into wallhanging world eh?
See, it's not sooooo scary! And your creation sounds absolutely
fabulous! (Where are the pics, btw?)

When you're ready to hang it, if it is of any size, I found the best way
to do that (and I can't claim credit because some nice gal here on RTCQ
told me what to, bless her) is to buy a curtain rod with clips and
simply attach the rod to the wall and hang your wallhanging by the
clips. One thing though, the hardware that came with my rod would have
put the rod out too far from the wall, so we had to devise something
else for that (IIRC, the rod is sitting on heavy nails).

Okey-dokey--now the pics????
