I have mine in pillowcases in the closet with the names pined on them. I take them out a few times a year either to show them to somebody to give some away.

Peckish-Thanks for Alex's tute.

My sincere thanks to all of you. Lots of helpful suggestions. I will store them in plastic tubs for the time being. I will take them out a few times per year, unfold them and air them out and refold differently to protect from creasing too much. I am hoping she has kids before too long as I would like to be a grandmother but I won't push her.(yet!)

If you go down to the Home Depot, and get a plastic tube, you can roll them on that. This way there will be no creases from long term storage.

Mine are folded and in pillowcases on a shelf. I like the idea of the pool noodle but that will take extra space and I wouldn't stand them on end. I have some fabric on a tube and find that, over time, gravity takes over and it tends to slide down.

If you put a tie around the outer covering below the quilt and snug it to the pool noodle then the quilt won’t slip down and you can stand the noodle on end without having to worry about the edges of the quilt getting creased. That’s how I do all of mine.

HI All! I am so glad you asked this question, you beat me to it. My son has a large quilt he does not want to use right now. So we have been pondering how to store it-queen/king size. I was thinking about folding it per Alex Anderson's tute then wrapping in white all-cotton sheet then either putting it into underbed plastic storage bag. OR doing the same folding, wrapping but putting it in my cedar chest (maybe double wrapping in 2 sheets). What do you think????
I do like the pool noodle idea and placing it up on closet shelf (might be just right thing to do).
