For me it depends. If it is "just" a quilt - I don't name it (past Purple Log Cabin) but if it is a gift or what I'd call an heirloom then I do name it. A quilt I just finished piecing is named for my Step-Mother who passed last year. She LOVED "Bells of Ireland" (flower). I pieced the quilt while coming to grips with her death etc. so I named it "Bells of Ireland".
