I like your triangle ideas -- they are brilliant! I make mostly art quilts and sign them unobtrusively in the border -- with a color ink that won't detract from the quilt, but that can be seen. Just my name and date. On quilts given for an important occasion I write more on the quilt backing, sometimes adding flashy beads. I think all our quilts, traditional, modern and art are works of art and signing on the front makes me feel like an artist.

I label my quilts---embroider the info I want with my embroidery machine---put the label on the back of the quilt when I add the binding. Fast&Easy

I always give my quilt a name. Not the pattern but a name that comes to mind because of the pattern or colors of the quilt. I mostly use micron pens or fabric markers to color a flower or hearts, whatever, then tuck two sides of the label under the binding. Once when I pieced the backing, I made the label part of the backing. In addition to the quilt name, I put the name of the person I made it for, my name, date, and my city and state. If it was for a special occasion, I add that too. I love making labels.

I labeled nothing in the beginning, decades ago, but in the last 10 yrs, yes, I label everything I make or sign my name on a label for a group. Say a Project Linus label, I sign my name as the quilt maker. It will help folks down the road, if your quilts end up in thrift stores etc. I know I love seeing quilts that share a bit about the maker, and maybe the reason for the quilt itself. It's your way of saying I existed at some point in time, and that you thought of others.

I put labels on all quilts that are being sent out to shows. I print the labels on fabric using my ink jet printer and then heat set them according to the package instructions.

Not a labeller. I did label the quilt I made for a widow with her deceased husband’s shirts only because her daughters asked me to make it and I wanted that in the label.

I like those triangular labels!!

It might be useful to also write where the quilt was made. Sometimes quilts get moved around from state to state.
