I also have noticed, while trying to catch up on all the great posts I missed, that ya'll have such great labels for your quilts. This is the label I made for "Why Not" and it is holding up beautifully after a few washings already. I used to use the Micron(sp??) pens from the art store to write on the backs of quilts but they seem to wash out rather quickly...? I even tried to set the ink by ironing over it with a super hot iron but it still fades terribly. So, this new way, for me anyways, is a nice alternative.
I also found a solution for DH that refuses to use quilts I make him. As some of you are aware, I had asked for help on this little "issue" we were having and I received a ton of great solutions and even a few chuckles. Thanks again all! I finished up a top I made a while ago that I was just not happy with as the instructions were a bit vague on how to square up certain parts of the blocks. So, to me it looked like crap but, he loved the colors and swore he would use it if I finished it. I did and even added prairie points, a first for me, and a label I made back in december for another quilt I was gonna make him. So, he uses this one, loves it and I am happy that he is so happy.

Lastly, I am now onto pinwheels I learned how to do from this very board! The "...sew around all four sides and cut twice on diagonal" ones, they are whipping up so fast and I am working 2 sizes for next quilt. I am starting with a layer cake and a charm pack so, 10" and 5" squares to start with. These are also wal-mart clearance finds and I am excited to see what happens with these.
