Label Faux Pas

Label Faux Pas
I fused and sewed the heart shape label on the corner of the Mickey Mouse quilt I have just completed for a toddler and just as I was about to congratulate myself on its completion noticed I had (accidently) sewn it in the top right hand corner instead of the usual bottom left. What was I thinking about!? It isn't going to be entered into any competitions, but is it a major faux pas or do I have to unpick it all and start again?

I have sewn labels in different places on my quilt backs. Once kind of in the middle to cover a fabric flaw that I notice after the quilting. If it bothers you, sew a heart in all 4 corners rather than trying to remove a fused label.

Just like most other things in quilting .... there's no hard and fast rule that must be followed.

I've also seen where people include their "label" information on a block on the front of the quilt. Found this little article, about making labels that has a few suggestions, NOT necessarily for the label placement, but just for some ideas on labels.
