I've used brown paper bags with raffia or hemp twine. Puts you in mind of "Little House on the Prairie." Very homey.

I really like that quilt. I remember my friend rolling up a little quilt and tying it with the very wide netting "ribbon." I loved the presentation. Maybe not rustic enough, though. I do the same thing when I give books for gifts.

Really nice quilt. Have you thought of opening brown paper bags and using that for wrapping paper? Some stores will give you a handful of them, if you tell them why.
