I finally made my first quilt!!! I want to put a label on the back, but I am not sure just how to do so. any advice would be appreciated!

I just hand sew mine on. After filling it out first. I put mine in the lower right hand corner of the back but you can put it anywhere you want.

What is the theme of your quilt? What are the colors? Picture , please.

A friend of mine uses a certain material for one small area in every quilt...that is her trade mark....I sorta like that better than sewing a name/date. I have not done anything to mine yet...I thought about putting on a kitty button on each quilt. If I give the quilt to someone I am sure they will remember the year,

i always include the name of the quilt, my name, city, state, date (month/year) and depending on who is getting it i include care instructions for the quilt. if it is for a specific person the label at times gets quite personal or even a story. these i usually put on a lower corner of the back, i fuse mine down before adding the binding and fold the binding over to include 2 sides (bottom/side)
sometimes i print it from the computer onto fusable printer fabric, sometimes i write them with a pigma pen, sometimes i quilt the label as part of the quilting. i think every quilt should have a label.

I iron the label to freezer paper first, so that I can write on it without it moving all over. Then I peel off the freezer paper, press under the edges, and hand sew it on. I should mention I've only done this once.

I always include the name of the quilt, my name, the size, date (month/year) and any other pertinent information, especially the name of the person who inspired me to make the quilt or the name of the person the quilt is for. I write the info with a sharpie pen and press it before hand sewing it onto the back of the quilt. When considering putting the quilt in a show, I sew the label on the quilt before quilting or write the info directly on the backing.

Oh, I forgot.....congratulations on finishing your first quilt. Has the bug gotten you? It took a huge bite out of me! I am so hooked, it's sad.

Should the label be of muslin? and where do I get care instructions for the quilt?

Thanks, yes it has! I am making four lap quilts for Christmas. and I am looking for more! I am especially looking for a boutique tissue box cover that is drawn up to the top like a small purse. I saw it a a craft show and can't find the pattern! it is driving me nutty!
