Cool

I store it in the same bag that it came in
I have it laid on my king size bed with my cardboard under the end with measurements on it so I can cut a straight line. I bought mine at Joann's with the 50% off coupon back when it was $30.00 a roll. I bought 4 rolls of the regular and 1 roll of batting for use in baby quilts. I still have 1 full big one and 1 big baby roll and 1/2 of another big one left. This is what I did about 3 yrs ago.
I would say that the $120.00 I spent then has served me well in the past 3 years. I don't know how much it costs to buy a kingsize batting, but I would say that I have saved a considerable amount of money over the past 3 yrs. I have also enlarged my stash with money saved by buying it that way.

I purchased a wooden stand that was made to hold 2 rolls of batting. when I get my room up and everything in it my batt rolls will be on it with a plastic covering it to protect it from dust. I can't justify a trip to Minot 2 hr round trip for a pkg of batting when I need it. It also helps that I have a 2 story house that I have 2 rooms upstairs with a lot of my stash and my batting in. If I could get up the stairs and had a bathroom up there I would not even think of adding a room on. so hopefully this dh I got will get started on it soon. The porch is now gone and need some gravel put there so that I can put concrete down.
