I make quilts with no particular person in mind, most of the time. I have a few on hand for emergencies such as a birthday or illness. I only label them when I give them away so my question is. What date do you put on your label? The year it was made, because I might have had it put away for a year or so, or the date you give it away?

I put the year I made it No specific date

I label when complete with my name and year only. If it's made for a particular occasion I'll put the month/year or the date of the occasion.

I put my name and year and sometimes a special note...Health and Hugs, Warmest Wishes...

If it's for a special event, like a birth or wedding, i put that event date on it. If it's just a generic gift i put the year.

I hate to admit it, but I've fallen way behind on labeling my quilts. When I gift one, I do label it, and I put the year it was given rather than the year it was made.

title, month and year of completion and Name of recipient(s) if known....and anything else pertinent to the work or occiassion.

I generally put the month and year, since the label goes on with the binding I just put that ( finished) date. If it was a long term work I at times put the started month, year; finished month, year. Sometime in the future someone may want to see that information - when I started it & how long I worked on it. I ( might) later add information/ date when it's given if that information is something pertinent.

A few years ago, I started labeling with my name, town, state and date. If it becomes a gift at a later date, I add a label "gifted to ___, for (whatever occasion) and the date gifted.

Date of completion and name in one area usually along the binding. Larger label if for a gift; name and date.
