Quilt Rack

Room by Room : Episode RXR-611 -- More Projects »

Use a rack to hang a treasured quilt for display.

Materials:

decorative trim (door trim)
1" x 3" pine board
back saw and miter box
3 drawer knobs
3 screws
drill with drill bit
3 t-nuts
hammer
3 molley bolts

Steps:

This is probably one of the easiest projects we've done, but the results are terrific. Choose a piece of door frame trim of your choice (or any decorative trim that suits you). Cut to length (use a back saw and a miter box, or if you can make a straight cut a ordinary saw will work). For our quilt rack all boards measured 36". Cut another piece of 1" x 3" pine board to the same length. That's all the lumber you need.
To find the position of the drawer knobs, find the center of the decorative trim and place a pencil mark. Measure in from both ends 3" and make two more pencil marks (you may decide to place your drawer knobs at a different spacing, depending on taste). Place both boards together and drill a hole through both using a 3/16 "th drill bit at all three marks.
On the 1" x 3" pine board, place T-Nuts into the holes that have been previously drilled. Tap the T-Nuts into position with a hammer. Using three Hanger Bolts, attach a bolt to each drawer knob. Place both boards together, secure the two boards together by threading the hanger bolt through the board and screw into the T-Nut.
To secure a quilt into place, unscrew the drawer knob enough to allow a quilt to be placed in between both boards, then screw the drawer knob tight.
To hang the quilt hanger to the wall, secure the back board in place by drilling two pilot holes through the board and attach using screws and self-anchoring molley bolts. Then attach the top decorative board.
