We all have the problem, too many quilts, not enough space. TQS wants to know, How do you store your quilts?
Do you stack them on the empty bed in the guest room, roll them on cardboard rolls, hide them in a closet? Do you actually use them on your bed?
Submit a comment and let us know where you put your quilts.
And while you are at it, how many quilts do you store?

Alex will be back in the classroom with brand new videos she is editing right now. But what slowed her down was looking up and seeing this scene. Not unusual in many parts of the world in April, but a surprise for California even at 2800' elevation.
