Tip : identifying your quilt without a label
#1
Instead of making a label, I put my name, city and date on the part of the binding that goes in the back of the quilt. On the picture, the blueberry fabric is the backing that is folded over the front (white fabric).

Nice! I've been known to cursive my info into the bottom of the quilt, while quilting. Even though it's on the front of the quilt, usually the thread matches the quilt, so it doesn't stand out.
One quilt I made for my (16 yr old) daughter last year before her spinal fusion surgery was filled completely with words or phrases that family and friends think of about her; princess, happiness, beautiful, brilliant ball of laughter... Very emotional to quilt all that right before a major surgery for a teen daughter.

A bible verse. Every year I change it. 75% of my quilts are donated to veterans and babies, want them to have a touch of God with them. Guess don't really care if they know who did it. The vet or a parent might be inspired to open a bible to look up that verse and fall in love.
And should I ever see that quilt again, will know what year I made it.
