I have 4 rolls on my ceiling, clean and out of the way.

i keep like size pieces in one of those zipper bags you vacuum the air out of... i forget the name, but it keeps it clean & never got any little mice nesting in it that way...
a big plus in a house as old as mine!

My suggestion is similar to Hobo's, but my Hubs made out of wood blocks to hang from the rafters in the basement he used the drill press to make a hole in each block and then we used metal piping, we put one end into the block and then slid on the bolt of batting and put the rod into the opposite end, all I have to do is unroll onto my cutting table, which one roll is over, I have three rolls of batting, differant thicknesses. I keep covered in plastic, until I need. Keeps it out of my way, I'm lucky to have a big space. The whole basement is mine to do whatever.

I had lots of "smaller stuff" hate to piece it together but do at times. As a group in my campground they did an outreach project - head scarves for cancer patients. a 5 x 19 inch piece times two is what is needed for the header in the scarf. That is where "all" of my leftover pieces went.

I do a crazy thing too. My giant roll is wrapped in a sheet and I stand it up in my master bathrooms, tub.[We never use that one] I have a huge bag of it, wrapped and in our new storage shed. Plus I have bags in the tub also and a bunch in a wardrobe that my DH put shelves in on one side and the stack of the bag ones in the door side. All my pieces are in a tote. Works for me!
