I never use a purchased label. If the quilt is hand made, so be the label. I vary my method of them. Sometimes I put a strip of barcode fabric and write the date as the barcode. My favorite is to make a heart shaped label from one of the fabrics I used and fuse it to the back of the quilt with fusible such as wonder under. Then I machine stitch using the quilting stitch around the edge to secure the edges. Then I write something relative to the occasion and person. ie: for my friend that recently celebrated her 100th birthday, I wrote - 'Young at heart, slightly older in other places.' If I make a wall hanging I'll use triangles in the back of the bottom corners and just write on those triangles provided it's light colored fabric. Works for me!
