I make quilts for nursing homes and just delivered my 10th for this year. The last one was for a guy with MS and confined to a wheel chair, and really loves sports. I used sports fabric and for the label, I traced the shape of a football, enlarged it on my printer, fused it to the back corner, then quilted the top. Then I used the quilting stitch on my machine and followed the outside shape to seal the edging. Written with a permanet fabric pen I do believe it will stay put through washings and hope no one else claims it. I put the persons name, my name and date. If the quilt is for a family member, I use the shape of a heart and write a short phrase pertaining to the person or reason for the quilt. It just adds a special touch and means alot to the person.
