I came home from work the other day and my DH had used those vacuum seal bags and squashed all my quilts so there would be more closet space! He swears it won't hurt them but they look like a wrinkled mess!
It's a good thing we'll be married 40years in Feb or I might consider retraining a new one (LOL)!!!

I have made 52 bed quilts, 9 of which are not quite completed. Some of them have been gifts for family and friends, others I have kept for myself.
I have a spare bedroom that I keep my quilts spread upon the bed to prevent folding, and them cover them all with a bed spread. I do have three hanging on walls which I change with the seasons.

I do change the ones around on the stand and in the living room, although the bed ones stay the same. I cannot begin to count the ones I have given away as gifts but it must be in the region of 30 over the years.
How many have you in your home?

My granddaughter counted mine on some bet, last year, and there were 37, but I've added a few more this year. That also doesn't count what we have at our summer cabin, probably about 15. I really think I should start giving them away, but it scares me on how someone else would take care of my quilts.
