What about giving him a quilt rack to display his quilt on? I think that would be a great follow-up gift for a birthday or holiday. You can explain that it is meant to display the quilt he has without it getting damaged while still allowing him to enjoy it. Plus, you can explain how it needs to be refolded every so often in order to keep it from getting a permenant crease and damaging the fabrics in the crease line. Just a thought.
You know, in the 18 years I've been quilting I have never received a thank you card. :( I hadn't realized that until it was brought up. How sad!
