I have 4 rolls on my ceiling, clean and out of the way.

I store my rolls under my quilting machine. The table is 14 feet long so I have lots of room. The pieces I fold and lay flat on a shelf. Large leftovers i piece together and use as soon as possible.

It's all done on your sewing machine before you even layer your quilt, no stuffing required. I learned from visiting Patsy Thompsons blog, and she even has a few instructional videos on YouTube if you're interested. :)
