You know if you go into places that sell cloth by the meter/yard, and you see all the different types of cloth stacked up against the wall? I always thought that the cloth, and the frame it was wrapped around was known as a "Bolt", so a "bolt of linen" or a "bolt of cotton". Stacking them upright would therefore be "bolt upright". Just me. Could be making it up.
