What a beautiful quilt cabinet!! Can you all give me some inexpensive ideas on where to store my quilts when i finish them? I have given away 4 quilts but have 7 more to get quilted and now that I have sorta learned to long-arm quilt, I want somewhere to show off my labors of love.. thanks for any suggestions and ideas.

Beautiful quilts! Lucky you for getting to be the keeper. I have a quilt case like that and love it. I think it is a shame when a quilt lives its life in a closet.
