Thread: Folding quilts

I roll mine and then place them in a clean pillow case for storage.

I hadn't heard that tip. I'll try the diagonal folding as rolling is hard to find a storage spot for. Thanks!

when I give away a quit, I also include how to fold it on the diagonal as well as directions on how to wash the quilt.

That is how I was taught, stuff them in pillow cases. I've never had creases in a quilt when done this way. The idea of using the safety pin in a corner is a good one.

I roll mine and then make a tube type bag to put the quilt in and make a label for it! It's worked for me and I don't get any creases in my quilts! I store them on a top bunk bed.

I need to do this for 2 quilts I have made for Christmas, my problem is after all the hours putting it all together & quilting I don't want to see the quilt ever again lol. But I need to make this a habit for sure.
