  1. Fold quilt to 12" width
  2. Drape along stair rail with festive ribbon ties

4. Festive Wall Hanging

Create a holiday focal point with these techniques:

  • Pair with childhood holiday photos in matching frames

5. Cozy Conversation Nook

Design an inviting holiday seating area:

Bonus: Holiday Photo Prop

Incorporate your quilt into seasonal pictures:
