I don't think the insurance company would want to reimburse for handwork, so I would calculate a generous amount of yardage for the quilt and multiply that by a good quality price-per-yard for fabric, and add in the batting and thread costs. That way you can account for the materials in the quilt. Maybe take some photos and measurements to back up your calculations.

think about putting it in one of those space bags. They don't keep their seal long term but for mailing they would be perfect. You can pick them up in the laundry section ( ironing boards etc) at WalMart. Thats what I would do.. =)

I think the only way to get reimbursed for your blood, sweat and tears is to get the quilt top appraised before you send it and appraised again after it is quilted. Other wise it is for the value of the fabric, thread, other supplies :(
