Well I am done with the cousins quilts. Just have to throw this one in the wash, check for any pulled seams and threads hanging. The fishing trip in in2 1/2 wks. My problem now is I want to wrap kind of rustic. Any ideas. I got baler twine from a friend of mine for the ribbons.

ready for washer, has solid yellow backing

How about unbleached butcher paper and wrap with the twine.

I use brown paper bags for my brothers and tied with butchers string.

If you were closer to me I would give you a feed bag! What about a burlap bag or make a quick drawstring bag out of fabric that has a fishing theme?

Here's what I did to "wrap" a recently completed quilt. I should have cut my piece of sisal much longer and wrapped it around all the sides, not just around the two sides. :?

They had sunflowers at their wedding so I put a bouquet of sunflowers beneath the sisal used to tie it.

I folded the quilt so the backing was on the outside because I didn't want them to see the sunflowers on the front of the quilt.
