I have a number of smaller ones displayed throught the house - chair & sofa backs, 2nd floor bannister, etc.

Your longarmer may have one or two extra.
Also when my husband has purchased fishing poles, they have nice cardboard rolls.
I have mine rolled up and when they are taken out there are no wrinkles. I have several rolled on one roll.
Love your quilts.
Enjoy the art.

remember that most cardboard is not acid-free. for storage of such beautiful quilts, I would invest in some acid-free tissue paper to keep the seams round. storing quilts on a bed,flat, is one of the best ways for them: if they are protected from light by a top cover. good for you for taking them out & refolding ! these quilts are stunning !
