When gifting a quilt, I sometimes attach a note telling them how much they should insure the quilt for. I have gifted some wedding quilts that cost $300 to $500 just for the longarm work, not to mention the fabric costing $100 or more. I have one quilt of my own that I spent about $800 making the thing. That one will not be a gift.
You can also get an appraisal and send a copy of that.
