 A Trio of Tips for Holiday Quilts

Keep these tips in mind when storing and displaying holiday (and everyday) quilts!

  1. When you remove your holiday quilts from storage, a round in the fluff cycle of the dryer will make them look fresh and ready for hanging.


  2. If a quilt displayed on the wall of your home is always replaced by a holiday quilt during the season, use an adjustable curtain rod so you can compensate for different sizes of quilts without having to keep track of dowels.


  3. To store your holiday quilts until next year, wrap them right side out around empty wrapping paper rolls, followed by a layer of old sheets. This will prevent creases and wearing at folding points.
