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.

Zhillslady 07-28-2011 10:18 AM

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.

It looks great. I like the twine idea for the tie. Wrap in fabric?

I would take a tip from The Sound of Music......brown paper packages tied up with strings. It's sure to be their favorite thing!

Harmony 07-28-2011 09:45 PM

What a fantastic old-fashioned looking quilt! My favorite kind!

Wrap in burlap and tie with bailer twine with brown-paper tag identifying recipient!

My thoughts, too.

How about a burlap bag for wrapping? Beautiful quilt!

janiesews 07-29-2011 05:42 AM

Love your quilt-very pretty.

SoozeeDoozee 07-29-2011 05:49 AM

Beautiful scrappy quilt! I vote for the brown bag wrap. You could open grocery bags and sew a few together to make a large enough wrap. A large zig zag stitch with red thread would be rustic looking.
