    Mine are layered on the guest bed flat. When the bed gets so high that I cannot sit on it, I will have to find another storage solution.

    Leah Day posted a great idea recently about how she stores quilts - particularly wall hangings. She takes a pool noodle (long styrofoam floatie thing for in a pool). She makes a fabric sleeve to cover it. Then rolls the quilt around the noodle, right side out from top to bottom. Then she makes a second fabric sleeve to fit over the whole thing. Store flat. She also uses that for shipping quilts. The reason for rolling them right side out from top to bottom is so that they'll hang straight and the bottom won't curl away from the wall.

    I have an old fashioned Ottoman at the bottom of my bed and they get displayed there, until I need to use them and as I use them a lot, so they get rotated. Then I have a Victorian style towel rail in my hall where I display a couple of special ones the rest are in use on my couch, chair, table and of course Muffin's bed
