    I think you should write your name and the date on it and call it the label.

    OCquilter, LOVE your idea! Could turn it into a happy mistake. :-)
    Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.

    That is exactly what I was going to say. Maybe even tac a little border of some sort to the scrap label to make it look as though you meant it to be that way.

    Funny, and sad! I'd just cut it out...carefully.

    Very small, very sharp scissors. I've done things like that when piecing.

    I have sewn the corner of the backing as I quilt. I just take small scissors and cut around the stitches, take a needle and scrape at the backing corner to ravel it and take all the extra fabric out from under the quilting stitches. I use to do it alot, now I try to pay more attention.

    I actually did this once (with a lot more quilting stitches on it) and I decided to leave it. Mine was a wall hanging I decided that would be a 'design' element. HaHa!
