Quilt storage and preservation





Like every great recipe there are versions on the original. There are numerous variations of how to store your most precious quilt. I have found three sites that you may want to visit and develop your own method of storage. I must say that when i purchased my cottage there were two lovely quilts, one quite badly stained from an accumulation of moisture.

Personally I display my quilts and only have two that are folded in an aerated closet with some charcoal/ puddy liter in the closet to act as a moisture whick. They are just as fresh as the day I put them there.I also don't layer my quilts on a bed, unless I move them periodically - learned the hard way when one quilt trapped the other and it smelled slightly musty, I good airing out in a windy day solved that problem
