KalamaQuilts

two kinds of stash...rob's papergoods, my quilts
This stack gets changed out all time on our bed.

I took over a glass front gun case for the others, plus I have them hung around the house.

Tropic, be sure to check the drawers for stains that might get on the fabric over time and musty smells before you store your quilts. Old dressers are notorious for their smells.

Oh...thank you for that tip. It's almost completely stripped. (It's a "long haul" project.) I may paint the interior, or line it with something too.

BTW...I was on Martha's site and I saw this great idea for storing a quilt, or two. They took a thick, wooden drapery rod, painted it to match the wall color and hung it behind the head of the bed. Then, they draped a quilt over it so it looks like a headboard. Here's the pic: http://www.marthastewart.com/274298/...g-ideas#178415

I don't have many quilts that I have finished and kept. Most of my projects are either 1) not finished, 2) not started 3) given away as gifts or 4) in use at home... on the wall, sofa etc. It's a wonderful problem to have, but I am just not there yet and don't anticipate being there for years to come.

That is kinda neat isn't it? You could change the quilt out whenever you want.

Store mine on quilt ladder and over the loft rail when not in use in family room or on beds.

I have a bunch on a quilt ladder in the hall and some are stacked on the day bed in the spare bedroom.

I keep mine in closets, on beds, on a rack. But I also have bought some pool noodles (the foam kind) which I have covered with muslin before rolling quilts onto them. If the quilt is wider than the noodle, I have taped (using archival tape) two together and cut them to fit. I have rolled more than one on a noodle, too. Then I have stood them up in a closet. I checked with our state historical society about this, and the registrar/curator said it should not do any damage to the quilts.

I have 15-20 quilts that I'm not ready to give/gift away yet.

Pinterest has some great ways to display and store quilts.
