In both cases the labels were not near as big as you describe, 8 x 10 is pretty large. On average my labels are about half that size, maybe a little bigger. I tend to only put the following on my quilt labels:
Name of quilt
Year quilt was completed, IOW I only put "2018". I do not put start and finish dates, even if the quilt took years to make.
"made by" and then my name usually as a signature (because I hand embroider my own labels it is relatively simple to embroider my signature)
My town and state.
I don't do dedications or purpose (like wedding gift or Christmas gift for my brother/mother/sister, etc)
If I am feeling particularly ambitious I may embroider a little something on the label. Like a flower, animal, quilt block, seashell, etc
