I have recently started doing a diagonal label across the lower edges. I do a design on the embroidery machine, finish it off on the longer edges, and catch the shorter edges in the stitching when I'm adding the binding. Then I hand stitch the top and bottom edges of the label so the label doesn't get caught on anything.

lower corners are generally perferred by qilters, HOWEVER keep an open mind if a problem comes up w/ the back! My sister had a problem w/a quilt for a wedding, that ended up w/a stain, near the middle of the back.Washing it didn't help. She promptly made a BIGGER label & slapped it over the stain! It was loved & no one knew she almost gave money instead!

I attatch the label in the lower right corner. For the quilts I give to the grandkids. I machine sew them on the back before it is quilted, thus assuring that it will stay in place with rough wear.
I make my labels with the help of my computer "card" program and print them off on printable fabric . It is easy to personalize them.
