I hand embroider my labels on all gift quilts. On my own quilts that I am keeping I always trace one hand of each of my grandchildren along the border and hand quilt it right along with what ever pattern I am hand quilting. In the palm part I include their first name and how old they are. It is just such a sweet reminder of how quickly they grow and how old they were when I was making a particular quilt. I read the idea from an antique quilt article I was reading a few years ago when I first started quilting.
