I've been making so many quilts that I've run out of room to store them. Most of them are Christmas presents so I can't give them away yet, but I've moved my sheets out of my chest and into a rubbermaid container (I hate the smell when I pull them out but it's better than the quilts smelling like it) and the 3 blanket chests in my house are full with blankets and quilts. We don't have a linen closet and my small closet doesn't have a shelf. And there's no spare bedroom. Any ideas of where to put them all? Because I don't want to stop making quilts

sorry I can't help, I'm just about with you on the storage.

get one of those bags where you vacuum out the air and it compresses everything. Then store under bed.

Hey, I have 4 spare bedrooms...wish we were closer be happy to help out...wink wink. I would only keep the ones I love for myself!

Forgot I was going to mention the storage bags as well. For the short time you need them they would be perfect.

I forgot to mention, I did that too! Maybe under the sofa is next...

I was going to say under the bed but you already do. Whatever you do, don't stop quilting!! :D:D
Just a thought- anyone you can trust with them at their house??

Do you have a friend with a spare bedroom that would let you layer them on their bed until they area ready for wrapping?

I layer mine on spare beds and just roll them up and put aside when I have company.:)

Be careful if you are using cedar chests. The cedar wood ate the quilt I had stored in one.
