Thread: How to gift wrap king size quilt?

I vote for pillowcase for wrapping.

If you truly want a box a good department store that sells winter coats or furs may have one large enough. If not, you could purchase a plain box at the post office or thru a moving company to wrap it in. If the box has writing on it, you can check to see if it is a box made with the 1" overlap on the inside side. IF it is, it's pretty easy to un assemble it and turn the box inside out putting the plain side on the outside and the writing on the inside. I've done that trick many times.

Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas and suggestions. I ended up wrapping a cardboard box with fabric, using washers for grommets for the cord handles. Just need to stuff the top with tissue paper over the quilt and it is ready to take to the wedding.

Nothing is more functional or used more often at our house than a cart. So roll and gift wrap in custom pillowcase/duffle and load it onto a cart and wheel it in.

I like the laundry hamper idea - or a large laundry basket - tie big ribbons around it -

Why wrap it at all? Just fold it nicely and tie with ribbon. I might try to find a nice basket instead of a laundry basket.

I find laundry baskets to be more useful than "nice" baskets.

I make simple drawstring bags to gift my quilts in.

I went to a wedding where someone had made the Bride & Groom a beautiful quilt, and they had folded it so that the main pattern of the quilt was displayed and it also had their names and wedding date embroidered onto the quilt. It was beautiful! It would be great to have the large bag/pillowcase to store the quilt in for the couple.

If I were going to use a basket I would get a cloth lined basket with handles on the end like the old fashioned kind or check with some bridal shops or cleaners who specialize in bridal cleaning and see if they will sell you a wedding dress box. Then put a big bow on it.
