Great guns, Jo! Your quilts will likely be around long after you have gone to that great quilt studio in the sky and the people who own them will want to know something about their origin. I make labels out of domestic (muslin) bordered with a piece or pieces of fabric from the top. I write them by hand, saying why I made the quilt, where I got the pattern (including the ones I design myself) where the top was made, where it was quilted and the name of the quilter. If it was made for someone in particular, I include that also. You can get all that on a 4 in by 6 in rectangle. froggyintexas
