I must tell you what I did for a wedding quilt similar to what you're doing. I used beautiful preprinted labels, ironed fusible webbing to the back of each one, and top-stitched each label onto another piece of fabic, which were all the same size, and sewed them altogether!
It was beautiful! It was for my SIL. And then I quilted it on my longarm.
I have to admit that I got the idea out of a quilt book...I'd have to look through my books to see what the name of it was and who it was by...it's been about 4 yrs ago! It was a very enjoyable project!
