Quilts like to be on beds, not folded up.  Over the last several years, my quilts have been piling up on the bed in Aaron’s bedroom.  I counted them once.  I think there were 120 or 130 quilts layered here.  There are more in each room and at the cabin and with my kids.  It can be a little tricky to get to the ones on the bottom as I rotate them through our home, changing them with the seasons and holidays.

I’m not sure what will happen after we move and I no longer have a bed available to hold my quilts.  I am looking for any good ideas for displaying them without having to fold them all up on shelves.

I think about the Princess and the Pea every time I look at this bed, wondering if that princess could sleep here.
