This is a little tid-bit if you are ready to put on your label.
I take a small square of each fabric and place it under the label before I sew it to my quilts. That way somewhere down the line if it needs repair the fabrics are under the label and as the quilt is washed the fabric will be washed as well and all will match. This way you don't have to try and find fabric that will match years from now. I let the person to whom I give it to know that it is there Just a little tid bit Hope This helps someone yrs from now :lol:

Now that's a really good tip. My tip is to make matching pillowcases for each quilt. They also get washed the same and are alos good for storage for quilts.

never heard of that- makes sense - I heard of other people taking credit for others quilts and was told write on with pigma pen then put on label over it and put on before quilting so is under quilting and can't be removed with out a lot of work and noticeable at judging
