I love this pattern too and hope to make it one day. It's on my "roundtoit" List.

Love it, I have that pattern on my TODO list. You can't imagine how long that list has gotten since I started watching all the lovely work here.

Do you mind me asking how you did your label? I need a "Labels for Dummies" lesson -- It almost takes me as long to do a label as to do the quilt. I need to find one simple program that anyone can use.
You did a great job -- it's been on my to do list for awhile now.

I didn't quite do it like they advised on this site, but if I had freezer paper available it would have been easier. As it was, I had to use just some cotton fabric spray basted to a piece of copy paper. I loaded the image into the computer and added text boxes with the writings and choice of fonts and then added decorative borders. I had a blue one around the top, but apparently that ink didn't hold. Just a hint - *only print in black ink and do it best quality on your computer printer. You can also hand write with a pen (I have one of those too, from my local quilting store) but I prefer to print from the computer. I also try and heat set with the iron before washing. The one in the pic is a before pic, the blue didn't survive the wash, but everything else came out fine. Here's the link to some labels -
