Definitely! Make a matching pillowcase if you have enough leftovers.
|
I've only made one with a storage bag but liked the way it turned out. I really like the idea of a matching pillowcase, I'm going to keep that in mind for future reference.
|
For my son's wedding I made a quilt and instead of wrapping paper I made sack out of quilt's backing fabric. It looks like a round bottom bag with a draw string. I also sew a pocket and place the washing instruction in it.Turned out nice and very practical.

Why not make a matching pillowcase for storage
|
I. too always make a pillow case to " present" the quilt. Even my charity quilts. Cases do not even have to match, just sorta cooordinate.
|
I use to make matching pillowcases with the idea the recipient would use one to store the quilt in until I saw one friend had carefully wrapped the quilt and the pillowcases in plastic to store. Now I figure in extra fabric of the main fabric and make a drawstring bag for the wrapping paper. This way they can easily identify the quilt that is in the bag and no more plastic. I will also include an article about the correct way to store and wash the quilt - always seems to be appreciated.

I've given one in a matching pillowcase.
|
I too usually make a matching or coordinating (if not enough fabric left) for the quilt. If it is a bed quilt and a double or larger I will make 2 pillowcases
|
I make a pillowcase in the leftover fabrics for them to use and/or to store the quilt in when not in use. I give the quilt to them in this pillowcase. I also add their name on the cuff of the pillowcase.
