My cabinets go all the way to up. There's a 12" or so drop from the ceiling down with a plate rail and my cupboards go all the way up to that. My former house had cupboards that didn't go all the way to the ceiling and while it looked nice with little decorative teapots and other things up there as everyone has said they got really messy and I had to take them down and wash them every so often. They were always messy when I did.
And, I'd like to add that I didn't feel that anyone was attacking the OP. People were just pointing out that that type of storage while attractive isn't very good for the quilts. Sometimes people don't think of that when they see an idea. They just think how pretty it looks with the nice colors up there.
