Solution: Sew up a fabric strip left over from the backing, and tie it up all pretty with the label of the quilt showing. So wrapping and a gift tag, all in one. I may do this all the time. Presentation is important, and this did the trick.
By the way, my mom-in-law LOVED the quilt.

Perfect!
That's a very artfully presented gift!
Oh wow very similar indeed. How fun and what a great gift-lucky mother in law. Your quilting looks great-I will pay someone to do that!!
I love how it turned out. And the fabric tie is a nice touch.
I have a question. How and where do you get inspiration for your quilts? I want to make a quilt for our king sized bed, but I am stumped as to what colors to use, patterns, what type of quilting. Any suggestions?
love the quilt.........missed a few posts so to catch up.....great cards.....wonderful prezzies.......
Perfect! That quilt is just so pretty!
Very clever. How could she not love that quilt. It's adorable!
GREAT presentation. sometimes i make a matching pillowcase and put the quilt inside it. but it's not as pretty as the fabric ribbon!

Nice presentation of gift. I knew Betty would like it...she likes everything about you.
oh sweetie. It is just beautiful. I haven't been online for quite awhile and it felt great to catch up on your life and projects.
I ADORE your cards. Love the pink & brown combo. I can't wait to borrow the Friends stamp.

So, it seems redundant to be the 24th person to say that this is beautiful and the perfect touch for wrapping the perfect gift, but that's okay. Because it is.
Gosh, this quilt came out beautifully.
PS...I love to strip my leftover fabrics to use as ribbon. It's so cheerful !
That is a great idea! Lovely quilt.
That's a lovely wrapping job, and so resourceful, indeed! The corner folded down with your inscription is so sweet, too. This is a phenomenal gift!
