I put the name of a quilt ( if there is one - I generally don't name my quilts). Mine usually say something like this: Made with love for Grandma Smith for her 80th birthday, July 17, 2012. Pieced and quilted by Ima Quilter, Smalltown, PA. Sometimes if I am doing the quilt for a class I'm giving, I'll reference the book or pattern I've used and this is generally where I do use a name. For example -"This quilt is called Surprise Star from Jane Doe's book Lotsa Stars." You can add anything else you want. Generally I include what I would want quilt documenters in 100 years to know about the quilt.
