Strategic place. By this, we mean those areas that do not have much presence of people. There are quilters who choose vacant room for this. They lay the quilt down on the bed. If they want to show it to other people, they can just invite them in.
Keep it away from pets and kids. Among all the sources of traffic that you can get, your pets and kids are on top of the list, who as much as possible, should not be permitted to stay close and play with your quilts. Its a common thing for them to play so you cannot blame them if they end up destroying your craft on the process. Be sure not to place it on places reachable to them.
Right illumination. The right touch of light can make or break the appeal of the quilt. If the place is dark for instance, then putting some light on at the corners of the room or any other area may be a good idea.
Method of display. Placing it on top of the bed is one. Hanging it on walls is a different story. You can be as creative as you want to be when talking about displays. You will be the one who will set it up after all. You know best how you want it to appear.
