Quilt Ladder

I have a few quilts. Some would say that I have more than a few quilts :-) However, we can all agree upon that quilts are too pretty to be hidden away in closets. I had them laying on the sidearms of the sofas but I didn't like this very much. So I brainstormed with my husband M. about it and we came up with the 15-minute quilting ladder.

I went to the local hardware store and picked up 2 2x4's and one long dowel with a 1.25" diameter. One of the store clerks was kind enough to cut the dowel in to 4 22" sections. I think the total cost was about $15. At home I put everything on the floor and decided on the distance between each section. Once I found the right distance I marked each 2x4 with the position of each dowel. I drilled holes in the 2x4's at each marked point. I also marked the middle of each dowel and drilled a hole on each side. 

My husband stepped in at this point to help me put everything together and voila I had a simple ladder to display my quilts. It takes 15 minutes to put everything together but it will take much more time to paint it. I haven't made up my mind to what color I want mine to be. So it is still unpainted... However once I do paint it I will show you how it looks like.

Now keep in mind that this ladder does not support the weight of a person only of a few quilts. :-)

Take care,
Me
