Plastic is bad for your quilts! When it comes to storage, so many put their quilt overflow in plastic bins or bags. It sure looks organized and safe, doesn’t it? Let me tell you why that may not be true.

Plastic doesn’t breathe. Because of this, if there is ANY moisture left on your quilt when you store it in plastic, or if moisture gets in, your quilt could mold. To be safe, here are some GOOD storage ideas from your favorite distributor- Checker. (notice the subliminal message I gave you there?)

This Quilt Storage Bag from Modern Sew is a good idea. It easily fits 2 double size quilts, and they feature a transparent front panel for easy identification, strong double-zippers, heavy-duty handles, and high-quality breathable material. Additionally, they can be folded away when not in use, making them an ideal space-saving storage solution for closets and shelves.

Remember when you took your wedding dress to a special place that put it in a special box to ensure that it wouldn’t get damaged while in storage? Remember how you thought you better preserve it so that your daughters could wear it on their wedding day because it obviously is a way better dress than what they will find 20 or more years in the future? Remember the day that you realized you were delusional? I digress. My point here is that now you can buy that special box without going to the special place to get it. Although Checker, your favorite distributor, is a pretty special place.

Here it is! That box! The Prop-It Acid Free Quilt/Textile Storage Box from S.A. Richards Inc. It comes in 4 sizes and is the perfect solution to quilt storage. It also includes 24 sheets of 20 x 30 acid-free tissue to pad the folds of stored items, preventing creasing. Another Bonus… Now you can store your daughter’s wedding dress so her daughter can wear it on her wedding day!
