Yes but my response was not to the OP but to AZ Jane who didn't understand why some of us even name quilts. I was trying to offer a reason as to WHY we would name quilts and naming goes hand in hand with labeling IMHO. why bother to name if you aren't going to put an identifying label on?
Regarding the confusion to future generations this could be a very possible reason why so many of the old quiltblocks we know are known by 3 or 4 different names.
