Not to sit on a closet shelf and have the next generation say "oh this is another one of Crazy Aunt Lori's quilts.. what do we do with this one!".
Even though many of my quilts are intricate and very labor intensive... all the more reason to have the recipient "consume" it.
I only label quilts that are given for a special occasion. Otherwise I just write my initials and the date in an inconspicuous place with a pigmy pen that won't stand out. I don't have children, so the "future generations" argument doesn't apply IMO.
