Default Storing quilt tops till they're quilted

When I finish a quilt top it's ironed. If I wait any time to quilt it, it gets wrinked and has to be ironed again and I don't like having to do it twice so I needed a way to store them without wrinkling. Came up with this - had DH take two lenghts of new 2" plastic pipe for plumbing and join them. Then hung the pipe from the ceiling with wire so it's about 5 foot off the floor in a storage room off my quilting area. It's over 14' long so it can accomodate a king size quilt top or multiple quilts. I can layered quilt tops on it or hang batting over it to relax. I can't see it from where I quilt so I don't feel guilty about not getting them quilted! I know this won't work for everyone because of the space you need. I'm lucky this isn't a problem for me now.
