Once your quilt is blocked

Once your quilt is blocked
OK, I got brave and entered one of my wallhangings in a local fair. I am ready to block it (mostly to remove the fold bends). Once it is blocked how do I store it until I deliver it to the fair? I don't want to fold it again. Should I roll it? It is too big to keep it flat to deliver it.

If you have a place to roll it and lay it ... that would work.
If not, you can fold it with pillows. Lay quilt down - lay pillow down - fold quilt over pillow. Even rolled up towels would work. Or rolled and folded batting. Anything 5" or more to keep a crease from forming.

You've gotten some good suggestions, but I can add one thing - if you make the folds on the bias, they won't crease as much. You can stuff the folds with tissue if you want.
Good luck!
