I store mine in plastic bags in a cabinet. Some in a big rubbermaid container. Done it for years and no harm.

I give away or donate most quilts.

I like the idea of the glass cabinet so you can see things! My mom has a lovely curio cabinet with special things in it. It would be great for quilts!

I don't really have too many that need to be stored. Wall quilts are on walls, throw size are on sofas, etc.

I have very limited storage space in my old house so I've been wrapping them around pool noodles and making a muslin bag that slips over my pool noodle/quilt roll-up to protect from dust. These then stand on end in a corner of the guest bedroom. The quilts stay wrinkle free and dust free and are protected from sunlight.

I wrap more more than one quilt around each noodle, by rolling the largest on first, then the next smallest, etc. When I roll the quilts onto the noodle I make sure that the pool noodle sticks out by a few inches at the bottom, then place my muslin bag over the whole thing and tie a piece of selvage around the outer bag just below the bottom edge of the quilts so they don't slip down. This allows me to stand the pool noodle on end without having to worry about the edges of the quilt being squashed. Finally I tie the top of the bag shut and attach a label so I know which quilts are on which noodle.

For larger quilts a piece of PVC can be used to join two (or more) noodles together by sliding it into the center hole of the noodles.

I don't have many, but they are on beds and the couch.

can't take credit for it myself--- have seen the idea in a couple of places including something I read from one of the quilt museums which suggested using them, and Leah Day did a video on using them as well.

Well...SuzzyQ...you'd better make one for yourself. People are gonna start wondering what you do with all of your time if you don't have something to show for it. (wink, wink.)
