Folding a quilt...

My students noticed how I fold my quilts for travel. I thought it would be a good trick to share. I didn't think this up - I learned it from Quilter's Newsletter. The thing is to never fold them on the straight of grain. When you unfold and re-fold, change the location of the folds each time.

I fold quilts to fit my suitcase. When I'm home, I roll my quilts and store them on a long shelf.
