Sounds like you want insert-pair:
(define-key (current-global-map) "\M-'" 'insert-pair)
(define-key (current-global-map) "\C-c`" 'insert-pair)
Which makes M-' insert a pair of single quotes, and C-c ` insert `'.
Then you can do M-1 M-' or M-1 C-c ` to enclose the sexp following
point in the correct quotes.
insert-pair is super handy, I use M-(sym) for () "" [] etc.
