Rolling Quilts Archives

THE most popular post that I have written was about rolling quilts to store them and I wanted to replay it today.

Here is the video…..

And here is the state of the shelf right now…..

Certainly not as neat as it started out, but that is okay….it still works.

Over this past year of storing rolled quilts, I have realized that the folds are all along the outside edge and don’t have the full weight of the quilt pressing down on them. I think that is the reason that this works so well!!

The large roll on the top shelf is comprised of 7 art quilts that are basically the same size. I laid them on top of one another and carefully rolled the entire stack over a pool noodle.

Let’s Roll Those Quilts!!

How do you store your quilts???

When I left you yesterday the quilts were all piled on my table, waiting to be hauled up the stairs and put away!!

Since I had all of them out at the same time I decided to try another Bonnie Hunter technique and to ROLL the quilts for storage rather than folding them.

I have always worried about folding my quilts, knowing that creases were not going to be good for them and it seemed that rolling might just be the ticket.

I made a video of the process and you can see how easy it is to do. In the video I mentioned that the process was a bit tedious but that was an overstatement. After I had done 6 or 7 quilts it became much easier to do.

It was extremely satisfying to view the finished process…..
