Default 3 yard quilts

We had just returned from Maui, less than 2 weeks prior, and had shopped and eaten in the strip where the concentration of the fire was. We were devastated for the loss of life, housing and employment for the people. I was in such a hurry to send them that I only have pictures after I sandwiched them. The last one is the one for QBB, and is shown completed. They all measure about 40" x 60", so I could just use the width of fabric x length to back them. As you can see from the completed quilt's photo, I still had to piece some backings, but more stash fabric is gone.

These are beautiful! I recently discovered 3 yard quilts also. My question is, what information do you put on your tag? It looks nice and small. Thanks for sharing and being inspiring.
