The quilt in my avatar is "Summer Romance". Color and design usually blend together to make a name. Usually as I'm sewing it together I name will come to me. Some times I use the name of the line of fabric in the name. Example....I made a quilt using Marmalade fabric line, the quilt was called Cherry Blossom Marmalade. I design most of my quilts so I like to give them a name. I can see why others find it really silly. If your using someone elses design, might as well use their name also...I do when I make a quilt designers pattern, gives credit where credit is due. I think if our quilts out live us its nice to have a name and information about the quilt. How many times have you seen an old quilt and would love to konw a little about the quilter? Not sure that you'll ever see my quilt in a muesum but quilts get handed down and out of a family, its nice to be able to trace them back.
