I made this scrappy quilt into a signature quilt by cutting up a label panel and peicing it throughout the quilt......I cut the letters for the words on the accu-cut to make it seem more cozy or lovey......I am thinking of donating this to a relay for life team...as it is the perfect gift for some one who needs a few warm words to wrap them up and keep them cozy....I thought of this idea myself....GREAT! Not teh prettiest quilt..but it used scraps!

I love your work!! and what a great idea with the label blocks. I don't know how you get SO much done so fast!!

I love them both. The label quilt (genious) would be so cool as part of a family reunion where all family members could sign and add a word to describe themselves or add their birthday. I love the fabric on the second quilt too - I will have to look for that in my local fabric store. Thanks so much for sharing.

You've really got a GREAT idea with that siggie quilt! How generous of you to share it with all of us...thank you! I'm agreeing with you on that line of fabric...that panel is sooooooo good! Always look forward to seeing what you've been up to!

Jingle 04-30-2010 11:49 AM

Both look great and second doesn't look like a panel at all. They were be more great after you quilt them. You do such great work.

Fantasist, awesome, I love the quilts and what you plannig to do with them. It will help someone who is going through Chemo. I understand what they are going through. When I was at my lowest, I would receive a card and It was a life line.Three years later I still read them often. You may not never know the blessing you are giving. God bless you. :thumbup:

I am in total agreement. I kept all the cards I got, too. As someone who has had to sit for hours taking chemo, I can tell you just the variety of colors would be a cheering sight.
God bless you for your caring spirit. :thumbup:

The signature quilt could be modified a little to use in place of a guestbook at a wedding reception or shower, or baby shower. My daughter recently sent me a link to an idea for wedding guests instead of a book -- it was a big print of a leafless tree. The guests use a stamppad and make a thumbprint where a leaf should be and sign it. The idea is that the couple then has "wall art" as a souvenir. I think a signature quilt would be a better memory - especially if it contained a picture of the newlyweds with the date, etc. Where did you get the labels (quilt shop where you work?) and how many are on a panel? None of the LQS's here (all two of them) seem to be able to get the label fabric in stock, and if they do it's usually just ugly and plain (and sold out before I get there).

Hi NancyinLouisiana,

THanks! I got the label panel at my LQS ( yes..where I work) We have a ton of different ones..I keep telling her not to buy so many panels...people may buy one panel because it will last them years because who generates 25-50 quilts a year? So we have lots of different styles.....puppies & kitties...victorian (floral)...country ( like what I used) ..christmas and many more...teh panles have varying amounts of labels depending...I actually didn't use all of the ones in this particular panel....I cut some out...but anyw where from 25 to 50 I would say.
