I have the fabric set aside for the binding. Right now, I'm working on the BH mystery so will not make the binding till that is finished. Last time I made binding ahead of time I put it away is a special place in my sewing room. I lost it and had to make more to bind the quilt. Then, of course, I found it. LOL. Some quilts I make a special label for, others I just sew on a woven label I had designed with a cute saying and my name. It works.
