    That was a great link, thanks for posting it. I looked at it on your original post and that had some terrific ideas. I liked the ladder hung horizontal and also the picket fence idea (and many, mnay others....)

    Now I just have to keep at it so I can make some to display.....

    Mine seem to end up piled on all the beds here. If I start to feel like I have too many maybe I will start giving them away. Maybe.

    Hi, I took the folding doors off of my closet in my sewing room and had a friend of my daughter's put closet rods across the opening. There are now 3 rods across it and I hang my extra quilts there, it covers the closet opening and I have a Valance at the top like a window. It works really well, I must have 12 to 15 hung there, and if I need to put more, I just fold the old ones one more time and slide them over. ha :D

    You sound just like me. I counted mine this week and I have 53 at my house and that's not counting the 25 I have given away. But I just keep making them just like I've got good sense. lol So many quilts so little time.

    Went to all the sites and loved all the ideas. Then ask DH to build me a chest with clear sides. Thanks for all the sites!

    I have several mounted wooden brackets and use a wooden curtain rod and change the quilts out.

    Several years back I bought several unfinished quilt rack kits at Michaels. My DH finished them and I have them in several rooms. you can display 3 quilts or if you fold them right you could display 6 on each rack.
