If you’re into creating photo memory quilts and blocks, you know how special each piece can be—a little snapshot of life, beautifully stitched into fabric. But sometimes, you might want to showcase these works of art in a way that’s as easy as it is elegant.

Why Use a Magnetic Poster Frame?
Magnetic poster frames are a dream come true for anyone who loves to switch up their décor frequently. These frames are super simple to use, requiring no nails or screws, and they hold your quilt block securely with magnets. Plus, their sleek design lets your quilt block shine as the star of the show.
Choosing the Right Frame for Your Quilt Block
When selecting a magnetic poster frame for your photo quilt block, consider the size of your block. These frames usually come in various sizes, so you’ll want to pick one that matches your quilt block’s dimensions. If your quilt block is an odd size, don’t worry! You can easily trim the backing fabric to fit the frame or choose a larger frame for a more dramatic, floating effect.
How to Display Your Quilt Block
- Prep Your Quilt Block: Make sure your Photo Quilt Block is clean and wrinkle-free. A quick press with the iron will make sure it looks its best. Make sure to protect your Photo Block with a press cloth when you are pressing. It is best practice not to touch your iron directly to your blocks. I finished the edges of my blocks with a serger, but you could also turn your 1/4 inch seam allowances under and topstitch them!
- Align the Block: Lay your photo quilt block on a flat surface and position it within the magnetic frame. Most frames come with two magnetic strips—one for the top and one for the bottom. Place your block in between the strips.
- Snap It In: Simply snap the magnetic strips together, making sure the fabric is held firmly. The magnets are strong enough to hold your quilt block without slipping, but gentle enough not to damage your fabric.
- Hang It Up: Use the attached string or cord to hang your framed quilt block on the wall. You can adjust the height easily by shifting the position of the cord.
Why This Combo Works So Well
Using a magnetic poster frame for your photo quilt blocks combines practicality with beauty. It’s a perfect solution if you like to switch out your quilt blocks with the seasons or as new ones are created. The frame’s simplicity doesn’t compete with your work but instead enhances it, making your quilt block the focal point of any room.
Ideas for Display
- Create a Gallery Wall: Mix and match your framed quilt blocks with other artwork for a dynamic gallery wall.
- Rotate Seasonally: Showcase a different quilt block for each season or holiday.
- Gift It: A photo quilt block in a magnetic frame makes for a unique, personal gift—perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because!
Final Thoughts
Displaying your photo quilt blocks in a magnetic poster frame is a simple yet stylish way to show off your craft. It’s an easy, non-permanent way to enjoy your handiwork on the wall without committing to traditional framing. So, grab your favorite photo quilt block and a magnetic poster frame, and let your creativity shine on display!
