I use muslin cut to whatever size it needs to be to tell the story of the quilt. I write with Micron pen because I believe having a label with my handwriting gives the quit more connecton with a live person. I tell a lot about the quilt--where I got the pattern and the fabric, if there were any struggles with it, what they were, who the intended recipient is, the name of the person who quilted it and my name, and the city where it was made and the date. I also put a border on the label using a scrap from the face of the quilt or the binding. I don't expect my quilts to last 50 or 100 years, but if they do, I want the person who has them to know their history. froggyintexas

Thanks, I'm trying to find a new method.
