WandaVA, I make my labels using Microsoft Publisher. The borders for this label were in clip art. I just kept adding the amount of the clip art needed to get the length & height. I rotated three sides so that I got the border to lay correctly. Then I inserted a text box, selected my font, and wrote what I wanted to say. I then printed it on fabric for my ink jet printer. Heat set the design and added the printed fabric border. Then just top stitched the label to the quilt. I have also made labels inserting a photo of the fabric used in the quilt. Hope this has been helpful.
