That's the way I do it too. Mine are not heirlooms either but by golly I want them to know who made it 50 years down the road. My grandmother and mother didn't make heirlooms and didn't sign their quilts either. I wouldn't take a million dollars for them. I did go back & put names on them and the guesstimated dates they were made.
