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.
It looks so pretty that way - GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteso so pretty! love the corner turned down!

ReplyDeleteI love how it turned out. And the fabric tie is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI 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?

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.
ReplyDeleteGosh, this quilt came out beautifully.
ReplyDeletePS...I love to strip my leftover fabrics to use as ribbon. It's so cheerful !
That is a great idea! Lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat'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!
