I don't name my quilts and I don't put labels on them.

I usually just use a reference name for a quilt or the name of the pattern, if I use one. However, I just finished a quilt in which I gave a title for the first time. The blocks are all from different designers but I designed the layout....and hand embroidered the name on the quilt top. There's a first for everything. Gift quilts, QOV's, and the special quilts I keep are the only ones that I design labels for.

Mmunchkins, your post literally made me LOL. My husband likes to tease me that the only time I sound like a sailor and stomp my feet is when I'm in the studio. Otherwise my quilts don't have names, only DNA.....

I like to name my quilts with something that comes to mind from the color or design of the quilt. I love making pretty labels for them. I only make a few quilts so they are all special to me.

I name every quilt. I usually come up with a name after. Example, I made a double accent French braid quilt (four columns of braids). I wanted a name that was French. The quilt had bright tropical colors and prints, so I wanted the name to reflect that too. I looked up tropical French Islands and saw Monteserratt, which means serrated mountains, which the quilt pattern resembled. So it was named Monteserratt, French, tropical, with a serrated mountain look. It was perfect.

so, wait, give it some thought, and the perfect name will come to you.

I can only think of one quilt I ever named. I started it the day Prince William and Kate got married so I named it the William and Kate quilt. My family laughed about it

Usually I just call it by the pattern. I haven't thought that much about it now that I think of it!

I have started a small collection of possible names for future quilts. I do not know if I will really use them, but I like the idea of having some ready.
