 One of the most challenging aspects of
collecting is showcasing your treasures.

 Today's challenge:  displaying a quilt collection.

What a crock!

A quilt cupboard is a beautiful thing:

Not only does it allow you to store an abundance
of quilts, it protects them from dust and dirt.

 An antique pie safe enhances the beauty of old quilts.

A painted changing table is an ingenious way to display quilts and cats:

The rail of a crib is also an excellent way to hang quilts.

 Drawers were simply removed from this dresser:

This $10 dresser was not only a bargain but perfect for storing quilts:

A vintage china cabinet was distress-painted
and has plenty of room for storage.

The treadle of an antique sewing machine is a perfect perch:

 Isn't this armoire lovely?

It definitely takes 'outside-of-the-box' thinking when it comes to displaying a collection of quilts.  Maybe a trip to the used furniture store is in order?  Happy shopping!

    I have a ladder hanging length wise as a head board. It's really pretty with the quilts.

    What great ideas. I'd never thought of using a changing table as a display. I find them all the time for nothing. I think I'll be on the look out for one! Love it!

    The ladder and the tall cabinet with glass door are great ideas! Even the dressers make great showcases...
