Remeber to put a label on the back with a brief description of its making, for the long term recipient to read. I make my labels of the computer and print them on fabric then stitch them to a back corner. In small font and using colour the label will not detract from the fabric. Remember to put washing instructions in the the label as well.
I love sampler quilts. So many varieties of blocks and so many colours and patterns available you couild almost spend a lifetime and not make the same quilt twice.
Thanks for the reminder about the label. I will place one before I gift it....
