    I fold with tissue paper, which I think helps with creasing

    I tend to let them pile up, flat on an unused bed. I do get to the quilting fairly soon, tho.

    I sandwich them as soon as they are finished and usually start quilting them the next day. If I’ve got a backlog at the quilting machine, then I either pin the sandwiched quilt up on my design wall, or I roll it around a pool noodle.

    I found some open ended hangers with a little foam on them. I carefully fold the quilt top lengthwise on the seam lines when possible. I've not had to re-iron anything since I started doing that. I also use those hangers for batting and backing. I have to transport my quilt parts to a friend's home with whom I share the longarm.

    I hang mine in the closet of my quilting room. I use the clip pants/skirt hangers. Works well and eliminates another round of pressing. Sorry, No photo, but who wants to tell the world how many UFOs are hanging in the closet? I will even clip the cut backing for the top to the same hanger. That way when I am ready to dive in to finish a UFO, there are no excuses. It is ready to go.
