It is finished when it hits the bed.

Yep, what ckcowl says. Mine are not finished until washed and dried.

Finished when quilted, bound and labeled. Well that applies most of the time. I have a pile of quilts that I have finished except for the label. They are waiting or the right person to wander through my life who needs the comfort of a quilt. Then I will quickly add a label and out the door it will go. But for the the most part, I consider "finished" to be when the piece is quilted, bound, and labeled.

After it is washed and labeled. The label is the cherry on top and I usually do a label also.

I don't consider it finished until it is quilted and binding on it and name tag. That's when I consider it done

I consider it finished when it is in the hands of the person I made it for. I don't make random quilts, each has a person in mind, from concept to delivery.

I always do a final exam of each quilt, clipping threads and checking the seams, etc. Just before this, I get the label on. So to me, a quilt is totally finished after clipping and being photographed with my DH holding it up for me. Then it can leave me and go to it's new home.
