To avoid wrinkles, I roll mine around a pool noodle, then cover with muslin and stand on end in a corner. No creases and each noodle can accomodate several quilts layered one on the other. Tha secret to being able to stand them up is to leave a short section of noodle hangong out, the when you slip the muslin on over your rolled quilts, tie the bottom, just belos the edge of the lowest quilt by wrapping a selvage strip around and maing a bow. This will keep your quilts from sliding down to the edge of the of the noodle. I also loosely tie a selvage in the middle of the bundle and then tie the top shut to keep out dust. They can the be leaned in a corner of a closet or room without wrinkling. If you need to do a larger quilt you can use a short piece of pvc pipe to join two pool noodles together.

To get rid of wrinkles Or to block a quilt, I pin it to my design wall or lay it out flat on a bed and then use a damp cloth as a press cloth while pressing rather than using the steam feature on my iron. That prevents it gettin too wet, and usually once the press cloth is dry you know ithat section is finished and it’s time to move to another section.
