Since I mostly do applique, I try to make soemthing for a label that goes with the front. Ex: smaller Sunbonnet Sue on the back than the one on the front. For the pansy quilt that I made, I used an Easter basket from clip art for my pattern. I try to use double fabric and satin stitch around the whole thing. By doing it this way, it helps with possible puckering or pulling of the satin stitch. I use a fine point fabric marker and write the recipient's name, the date and then my name. Then I slip stitch it to the back of the quilt usually in one of the bottom corners.
