    I like QuiltE's idea best but obviously that will only work if you have an extra, not often used, bed. You stack them & then every once in a while, rotate them & change the one on top. Sounds like a plan. LOL

    If so, I would just put them one on-top-of-the-other, and leave them be.
    I like your idea best of all! And every month or so, I'd change them out so I could enjoy them until they were gifted out.

    I have mine on an unused bed with a cover quilt on top and I have two rolled up in a sheet under the bed. I don't have much space for storing.

    I know you are saving them for wedding gifts but what happens if some don't get married? I like to see my family enjoy my quilts while I'm still alive. I usually give them at Christmas or their birthdays. Just a thought.....

    I have a guest bedroom that is in reality a quilt storage room. I ran out of room on my display ladder long ago and started stacking my quilts on the bed. Not very convenient when company comes, so I moved the mattress and layered my quilts flat on the box springs, put a whited sheet on top, and replaced the mattress. When I want to use one of the quilts, I just throw it into the dryer (no heat) and fluff it for twenty minutes. My guests can use the room and I don't have to find a temporary home for my quilts.
