quilt storage ideas
#42
My parents are in 2 hours away from him now... I'm having them bring me one back. My plan is to replace the end table with one and sell the end table and match coffee table. I have an almost 2yr old and we haven't used the coffee table since he was born so he has more room to play.

I store my tops in clear plactic tubs that I get from Costco, they are better made and the lids do not give..
quilted quilts I keep in my linen closet and I always freshen them up with a few minutes in the dryer with a dryer sheet..

I put mine on the bed in the spare bedroom, cover it so it does not fade. No creases, folds or plastic smell that can absorb into material, I have also used pillow cases, purchased old sheets from thrift stores make into large pillowcases to store one when giving the quilt away. Works for me!

I agree do not store in any plastic or paper bags. Always use cloth. An idea take a pictire of it. Make a cloth bag from cotton fabric usually 30" square. use some sort of label on outside of bag to match with pictures. Store it flat.

I store the ones not in use folded on a shelf in my clothes closet. I rotate the quilts that I use (both on display and the ones in use), which makes refolding unnecessary, as by the time I have to refold, they get used.
