Is this right? Can you store starched (for example, new, finished but not yet given away) quilts for a couple of years with no problems?
I always wash my quilts as soon as they are finished, so not sure about long-term storage of starched fabrics. Seems to me a tropical climate would be bad, but other climates maybe not so bad.
