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!)

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.

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).
