Definitely classed as a gift. On the Customs Declaration don't put quilt, but something like fabric (even second-hand fabric!), or textiles. A quilt is too tempting for a light-fingered person.
I have a slightly different question. When you post your quilts Internationally what do you put in the customs declaration? Also is it classed as a gift?
I roll mine right side out around the outside of a tube and protect with tissue paper and bubble wrap. I'll have to work out an alternative this time due to the construction.
