    You could put a flannel back table cloth across your bed for your cat or close the door to that room and maybe crack a window for some fresh air.

I like the idea of putting them behind glass, so that you could see them, but they'd stay clean. I also like the idea of a corner shelf unit because it doesn't take up as much wall space, which is very limited at my house. Rolling them up and stacking them is good too.

    I actually got a length of clear plastic and put it over the guest bedroom quilt because I wanted to enjoy it but so did my 4 legged child! Yes it reminds me of the plastic slipcover of the 1950's but it works! Of course I take it off when company comes!

    Good idea and you can also layer up numerous quilts, add a plastic shower curtain if desired, then top it with a utility quilt that your baby is allowed on.

I'd like to have them where I can see the quilts...all those pretty colors... even if they're just folded up. My problem is where to store them when not in use. Our house is a very small cabin/cottage, with not much in the way of wall space, or cabinets. I'd love to hear about some clever ideas on how some of you store your beauties...thanks.

    I hang mine on heavy duty pants type hangers, covered with clear dry cleaning bags. Store in a closet.

    Now that's ingenuity! You know what he'd do...He would think that it would make the perfect cave and under he'd go.
