Pillow case for Quilt
Ok, I know I saw this somewhere but now I can't find it. Guess I'm not sure what search parameters to use - so I'll try it this way.
I'm looking for inspiration to make a pillow case/sham that you put the quilt in to store it. Does that make sense? I thought it might be a nice way to gift a quilt. Kinda in it's own packaging.
And no, I'm not talking about a quillow. I've made plenty of quillows so far and I'm not really cracked on them.
Also, another purpose - I have a Christmas quilt I like to use. Now that I have very little storage, I was thinking if I make a pillow sham to store the quilt in, then I can store it on my bed year-round.

Have you ever heard of a “burrito pillowcase” - all of the seams inside and outside are finished. It’s a pretty slick method!

Here is a project we did back in 2014 that has a drawstring so makes a good storage for a quilt. 1-February-2014 Project of the Month, Gift Bag Pillowcase

I use cotton pillow cases to store my quilts also. I sometimes can find them at thrift stores. I also have 2 extra bedrooms and I put the quilts on the beds layer after layer.

There are many tutorials for sewing the burrito style pillowcases out there. My favorite is this one:

It makes a very pretty pillowcase and they are super easy to make. One thing I do differently, I sew down the accent strip. I found that it tends to curl up after washing/drying.
Here is a nice selection of pillowcase patterns too:
