Since I go by two different names, Margaret Jean to my family and Marge to my friends, if the quilt is going to a family member, I use Margaret and if it's for a friend, I use Marge. When I make the family reunion quilts every other year, I put Sarringar-Larson family reunion, then my name, city and state, plus July 4th and year. I never thought to use my maiden name on my quilts, mainly because most people can't pronounce my maiden name and my married name is somewhat easier to say and remember. Guess that's sort of an ambivalent answer, but there you go.
