Many quilters make a lable to sew on the back of their quilts when finished. It was a tradition in some families for it to be embroidered in the makers own hand writing. Today anything goes I've seen them printed out on computer printer fabric and incorporated in the piecing on the front of the quilt. One absolute,you need to keep in mind that the lable endure the quilt's usage and washing. I have seen far too many that have fallen off, or the ink faded, or the stitching came undone. If using ink, be sure to use only textile permant marking pens never a ball point or felt tip pen.
