I travel with 100 pounds of quilt (about 25) for trunk shows and classes. I have many that are class samples for teaching. There are many uses for quilts and some of us need many!!<br />jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362229673390519468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-4837132294586924382013-10-19T12:32:40.048-05:002013-10-19T12:32:40.048-05:00What is the point of having 35 quilts rolled up in...What is the point of having 35 quilts rolled up in a closet?

For the big quilts, I highly recommend folding them on the bias. Start by folding the quilt in half, diagonally. Then working from the left, clockwise, take the left corner and fold it to the right corner. Fold the next corner in, then the next corner in, etc. You can make a neat little package of it. I teach this in my beginner quiltmaking classes, and always fold my own quilts this way, especially if I'm boxing them up to send someplace.FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-61660139338395204172012-01-11T15:01:32.150-06:002012-01-11T15:01:32.150-06:00By golly, guessing 42 quilts at your place was not...By golly, guessing 42 quilts at your place was not THAT far off!
