I stand mine up in a closet and put pieces in the nice thick, sip up plastic bags that bed sheets come in.

I don't have a lot on hand right now but what I have is stuffed in a big bag made out of an old t-shirt.

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

THAT IS A FABULOUS IDEA. tHANKS!

I store my rolls under my quilting machine. The table is 14 feet long so I have lots of room. The pieces I fold and lay flat on a shelf. Large leftovers i piece together and use as soon as possible.

I have a full sized bath in my quilt studio including a shower with shower door, I store it in the shower...works great.

It's all done on your sewing machine before you even layer your quilt, no stuffing required. I learned from visiting Patsy Thompsons blog, and she even has a few instructional videos on YouTube if you're interested. :)

That sounds interesting. Could you put up a link?
