Traveling exhibit of quilts! Hanging and packing advice needed
Hi everyone,
We're going to be traveling a quilt show with 60 pieces, approximately 60" square, and need some guidance! They are modern with a sleeve on the back for a hanging rod. Since we'll be installing at various venues, we're trying to come up with the quickest, least intrusive, and safest way to hang them. Is there a way to do this using rare earth magnets?
As for packing between venues, we’re thinking folding them, padding out the creases, putting them in textile boxes, then crating the boxes, but has anyone traveled something similar rolled? Is it worth the trouble for modern pieces?
If you’ve traveled something like this or have any advice, please contact me on or off list.
Thanks!
Lauren
