I'm so proud of this. I made a lap quilt originally to give to a nursing home, but after reading so many stories about them going missing, I decided I'm going to give it to a shut in at my church for Christmas. I'm not sure which one yet, but I had to share pics.It was the first time I've ever quilted curves and to put a little more pressure on myself, I used white!.

And do you put your name on the tag if you give it away?

it was a little windy, but this was the best pic I took

very nice...keep up the good work....yes, you could put a label on it with your name and perhaps the date and the city and state...or a little verse or whatever you want.

your quilt is beautiful. i love the curved quilting you did in the center. i believe anybody you give this too will find a source of comfort beneath the love you quilted into it. i would definitely history the back. you never know where you quilt will eventually end up. (isn't that a neat thought.) :-)

I so agree... and guess what, You still have time to make another one before Christmas so you can give to more than one person if you like... :thumbup:

I have to finish the other presents first. Then we'll see if there's still time lol!

Very pretty it will be loved

What a very nice thing to do. They generally mark things at the nursing home but that doesn't always stop someone who thinks they are entitled. I'm glad someone is enjoying your generosity.

I love your curvy quilting, and you did a nice job with it. You might think about a generic type of label. You know, Made by ____, Date _______, if you like something general like "God loves you" or something like that, but not necessary, certainly. Whatever you like, it is your quilt.
