They look a bit like quilt/towel racks but are more elaborate and larger. Jeanine

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Actually that's what I do with most of my quilts. But there are a few now that I just can't part with. My Apprentice Piece for one and the couple I entered in the competition here earlier this year. I will part with them eventually but just not yet.

Smaller ones are in a wardrobe drawer Why don't you get a spare bed with sliding door space underneath then you could store them under there rolled. Or are you like me and under the bed is batting, photos, games, cats ..........................

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	If they are small enough I use skirt hangers and hang them on the back of a door. I re-fold them in a different direction every couple of weeks. If they are bigger I fold and re-fold them every few weeks and store them in the hotpress. I would like to roll my quilts too but I would not have anywhere to put the rolls.

Like eveyone here, I have a lot of quilts that are done and I just don't have the space to hang any more quilts. How are you storing your finished quilts? Most of mine are on the spare bed (my husband is sure the bed will soon collaspe) and need to be folded everytime someone comes to visit. I found that if I hang them they still get creases. I am not sure where I would put them if I rolled them, but I have been thinking about doing that. What are you doing?
