I need some suggestions for labeling vintage tops and blocks that I finish up into completed quilts. Like you, I love the vintage/antique ones but I'd like to acknowledge the origin if known and seldom included along with my part in saving and completing it. Got any tips?

I'd just include a label that says something like:

Quilt top pieced by: unknown, circa (about whenever you think it was done)
Quilted by: (your name here), 2010

Nice quilt. It just shows it doesn't have to be fancy to be beautiful. How lucky for you to find this.

You have a great eye when it comes to finishing the old tops. Once again, you're spot on. Beautiful quilt.
