Was speaking with my sister-in-law the other day and she was talking about her mother storing quilts and blankets between the mattress and box springs. They got tired of having to lift the mattress when she wanted a different quilt. Now they store the quilts on top of the mattress and use a larger size fitted sheet on top of that. She has 8 quilts inbetween and on her bed. Not counting the ones she likes to cover with at night. They also have some on the grandkids beds. They have a total of 40+ quilts with easy access. They use them all. 4 generations (6 people)under one roof. They have huge house with a basement and some quilts in the basement. Not one the same.
