Just found a series of patterns for mini quilts on All People Quilt
http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/techni...ail=3787691619
As for labels, there are tons of designs you can print onto fabric with your ink jet printer, then just write on it and personalize. You can stitch it on by hand or be lazy and use an iron on fixative or glue. After making the mistake of trying to stitch around one by machine after the quilting was done, I'd recommend putting it on the backing FIRST.

Sometimes larger tags get "special placement" from me -- special because they cover up a bunchy bit in the quilting! Like this one:
