How do you make labels for on the back of your quilts? Do you make each one different, or to match the quilt, or do you have a regular style for all?
Most all my labels I like to put the name of the quilt, date it was made, my name and where I live. Here are a few of my labels. Some are plain, but to the point.
Other times I like to add applique to match the front of the quilt. Such as these:
Here is one that I made for on the back of my daughters Wedding Wall hanging. I wrote a special poem with a hand applique dauphin.
.On my 1930's Replica quilt, I drew all my pictures, then colored them in, and embroidered the outlines of the pictures. So for the label, I did the same.
This is one I put on my Brother and his wife's "Rose" quilt.
Then there is the poem I placed in back of a baby quilt.
This went on a quilt for a young man that loves his music.
I also made one with a fabric envelope, inside the name of the quilt, etc. But also washing instructions and small pieces of the fabric that was used on the quilt.

However you make your label - have fun with it. Remember, this is your signature on your quilt. So make it you!
