No, I do not name my quilts. (Making up a fitting or clever name for the quilt.)

I do add a label to every one except those donated to organizations. They often prefer their own label that they add themselves noting the organization. My labels include "Made for __________ Made by ____ and Date of completion. Now and again, I will add the occasion (graduation, wedding, birth) and the name of the pattern if it is significant. My "Harriett's Journey" will get its name on the label but not those that are scrappy just to bust my stash. Currently, many patterns seem to be sampler quilts that are lovely revisits of traditional blocks in different combinations or collections or colors. But if I strike out on my own with a group of traditional blocks or a repeat of a block for the whole quilt.....no name, just fun for me.

Perhaps I should begin to include the pattern name on my quilts more often as a way of acknowledging the pattern designer.
