It doesn't actually have the pattern for the bag, I just kinda threw it together. There is a different bag in this book though. Happy sewing!

Do you think I should sign it??
Of course you should sign it. I always label my quilts. I date them, list town they were made in, who they are for, the date they were made and unless I use a particular pattern that someone else has designed, I always list mine as created and designed by and my name. Down the road someone will want to know who made the quilt and it will be there for everyone to see.
I label and sign mine, not just so everyone will know I made it, but I feel like I need to advertise my work, just like Calvin Kline, Bob Mackey, Ralph Lauren or whoever. They always label their work and it is their trademark, so we should do the same with our work.

Definitely sign it!
Name of quilt, date, your name and any "story" behind it, and your location! Always sign your quilts! :-D

Of course you should at least sign it, but include at least City, State, date made. If you make the label into a pocket, you could also include "care & feeding" instructions so that she knows how to wash and dry the quilt. I did a baby quilt for one of our grandaughters and it had applique on it too. Our son carefully folded it and put it in the closet so it wouldn't get dirty - as they couldn't afford to have it dry cleaned. It had never occurred to me that they wouldn't know it could be washed in the washer and hung to dry.
