I hang them in the closet on the hangers you get pants on. Just 2 clips hold them, no wrinkles from folding over a hanger. I can see them at a glance to know what's waiting.

I use a large quilt hanger, formerly called a treadmill. Much better use, I think. There are about 8 of them hanging there at the moment.

Except I really need to use it and lose some weight!! I can't right now cause I am having a lot of knee pain. I have just been waiting for my shoulder to get better before going in. I have an appointment to get the ball rolling next week. I kept thinking "one body part at a time" but I can't wait much longer, I need to be able to walk!!!Originally Posted by k3n

I also use a wood drying rack. I wrapped the rungs with a small piece of batting I spayed adhesive on and covered that with a strip of muslin. I have small quilts,wallhangings on the lower rungs. A few a folded with the backing.Originally Posted by yorkie
I have purchased one of the wood folding drying racks for clothes. I fold them gently and hang them on the rack, that way they do not get wrinkled. If it is going to be a while before they get quilted, I will fold a towel into them so there are no hard folds which can wrinkle.

Mine sit folded with their intended backs on top of a box under my quilting frame. Right now there are 4 quilts under there, whispering to me to come & finish!!! Hush!!! Can't you see I'm busy!!! :thumbup: :lol: :lol:

I like the coat hanger tip. If you have a plastic hanger, to keep it or your clothing from slipping blue foam on it all the way around. Two birds with one stone.from

At present, mine are in large plastic containers (with backing fabric if I have it) stacked on the pool table. If I have the binding strips already cut, I have them hanging up to keep them wrinkle-free. (Nobody plays pool anyway, but if they wanted to, it's an easy thing to move my containers.)
