I went to dollar store and bought some Noodles the round foam ones the kids use in the swimming pool and I roll the quilt
on the noodle .if it is still in sections just lay it out on a piece
of muslin and then roll it up. I dont like folds in my squares and I
don't have any with this method. works real well.

These noodles can also be used to mail quilts when you don't want them to get fold marks. Can't mail a cat.

Great idea. I hate it when I feel like I need to press a quilt that is in progress of being put together. How cool would it be to be able to make a rack that you can put on the wall and run a dowel rod through the noodle and then hang the whole thing up. Kinda like a rifle in a gunrack.
