I make mine- it depends on the individual quilt what the label will be like- I have 'labels' books from Joanne fabrics that have 50 or 60 different 'iron on' labels you can choose from (the books are about $12 and each label can be used 2 or 3 times) they are for all kinds of different (events) - you iron them onto your fabric- fill in the spaces with the 'personal' information with a micron permanent pigma pen then sew on your label- or you can iron them right onto the quilt if you want. I also have 'premade' labels that are purchased by the yard (I think the ones I have right now are Thimbleberries) again- they are different sizes, designs and you fill in the details. I use the computer to design my own labels- then print them onto fabric- sometimes I embroider a label. there are many options available and ways to label your quilts. the 'bare minimum' to include on a quilt label (for me) is the name of the quilt, designer if it's not my design, my name, city, state, date, fiber content and care instructions- if it is a quilt for a special occasion or a special person I add information about that- if I do not know who will get it {charity, give away quilts } then they generally just have the minimum- but they all get a label of some sort.
