Quilt Tip: Tips for Gifting a Quilt

Before you give your quilt, make sure you have photos of the quilt. Take more photos than you think you’ll need and make sure they’re clear and accurately depict the colors of the quilt before you start wrapping:

•  Quilt folded nicely
  
• The quilt front and back in its entirety
  
• A “beauty shot” of it nicely thrown over a pretty chair
  
• At least one picture with you and the recipient and the quilt, if you can. If you have to ship it to them, ask them if they will send you a photo of them with the quilt.
  
• We’d add that it’s a good idea to get some close-up shots as well, of special details, a quilting design you want to remember, and whatever else you may want to refer back to in the future.

Another idea is to roll the quilt up and tie a pretty ribbon or twine around it. Or simply fold the quilt nicely and tuck a card into the fold.

A very cute gift wrapping is a cute pillow case.  Actually, the pillow case makes an easy appreciated gift by itself!
This older video shows a clever and quick way to make a pillow case.  It doesn't get much cuter or quicker than this!  (PS- This video is from 13 years ago, so the pillowcase drive is over)

Another great idea is to make a Tote to put the quilt in.  You can make it any size you need.  If you don't have an easy tote pattern you already use, the video below shows how to make a quick tote using a charm pack (5 inch squares) to make it.
