That is a great idea. I like it. Yes boxes can be expensive and especially if you have to mail it to some one. A couple of yesrs ago we gave Mom a 19" flat screen tv for her bedroom for her birthday and we didn't have any wrapping paper so I knew she needed a certain type of fabric and I had a few yards of fabric so we wrapped the tv in the fabric! So it was like 2 gifts in one type of thing. Now that wasd pretty cleaver too. Have a great dsay, Huggies, Fay

Your pretty ribbons give the quilts such a festive look. Last quilt I made was for DGD who lives in CA. Wrapped it in double layers of colored tissue paper and tied it with curly ribbons and DS#3, her Dad, stuffed it into his suitcase on his last visit to us. Mailing it would have been expensive and, anyway, I didn't have a box or plastic envelope large enough for mailing. Saved time and money and DGD got her quilt ASAP. May in Jersey

Such a nice idea to wrap the quilt with pretty ribbon. Lets the quilt itself be the wrapping paper.
I made a quilt for my niece earlier this year for her baby shower. I made a gift bag out of left over fabric from the quilt. It served as a gift bag, can be used as a storage bag, or she could use it as a tote if she wanted to. Here's a picture.
