Default Nearly Invisible Label Tutorial by Wildyard

Several have asked me to post how to make the nearly invisible label idea I came up with for a table topper last week, so here it is. There will be quite a few photos; I know I learn better by seeing. This is not as complex to do as it is to explain, as with so many things. LOL For the purposes of this tutorial, my backing is the yellow and my top is the blue.

Before you add binding to your quilt top, cut a piece of fabric to match your backing. I used a 3" x 4" rectangle for the table topper, but this only has room for a couple lines of information. For this tutorial, I used a 4.5" square. Choose your size based on the info you want to include, keeping in mind the larger the label, the more visible it becomes.
Random pattern fabrics or solids work best, but directional patterns work well also, only requiring a little extra care in matching.
