The cherry on top: quilt labels

I think everyone has their favorite method of labeling their finished quilts; mine is to cross stitch them.

Here is the label I put on my mom’s quilt:

For privacy, last names have been digitally edited from the photos.

I use 18-count Aida cloth in either white, antique white, or ivory. I start by charting the words on graph paper, left-justifying the majority of the lines of text. For stitching, a size 26 tapestry needle works best, with two strands of embroidery floss in a color that blends with the fabrics used in the quilt.

How do you label your quilts?
