I too make my own labels with my printer. And like some of the other ladies I iron use a blanket stitch to sew them to a piece of fabric that matches the quilt. Then I sew that to the quilt with a blind stitch. If I am making a quilt for a friend or family member I scan a picture that means something to the person receiving the quilt and use that as part of the label. I made one for a cousin and as part of the label I designed was a picture of his birthday party that all of the kids in the family was in. the picture was taken 50 years ago. For my daughters quilt label I incorporated her birth certificate including her foot prints. Everyone seems to like this personal touch and it's fun for me to come up with something for each individual.
