It's a good thing we'll be married 40years in Feb or I might consider retraining a new one (LOL)!!!

You should have your husband read the info on storing quilts at the site for the international quilt study center. Sealing the quilts in plastic is not the thing to do. I will try to find a link for you, and edit this post to include it.

Try this:

The information refers to antique quilts, but is relevant to current quilts when you look at folding/storing on a bed/etc.
