Beautiful quilt and I know she will shed many tears while curled up in it, but also will heal.
Yes, I think a picture added to the label would be appropriate. Maybe add the Rainbow Bridge poem to it.

As a mother of two fur babies, I would appreciate a photo of the dog on the quilt. That way she will always feel like she's is still cuddling with both dogs. I would put a label on the back "In loving memory of ????" and date of birth and death. A nice memorial. I did something similar when a friends beloved dog died to a tote bag. She loved it and set it by her bed so Smoke would be close to herl

If it were for me, I would love to have the photo, name & dates on a quilt. Just because some of my dogs have passed, does not mean they are forgotten. To me, that would be a very loving gesture.
How thoughtful of you to do this.

There is also a beautiful story about James Stewart and his dog. Very comforting.
I have kept all the cards we received and stories and messages. I have them in a large envelope and read and re-read. It'll be ten years September 10, 2011 since our dog died and I still miss her....S. H. Bridget - Bridgie for short. Edie
