I know a quilt label is important. But I have to admit I’m horrid when it comes to getting this last step done. It is something I aim to be better at. Here is why.
Giving your quilt a label provides information on who and where a quilt was made. A valuable resource if a quilt is ever lost or stolen. Giving you a better chance of finding it or having it returned.
A label is also a great way to record history. While the reason for a quilt may seem obvious now. In the future it may not be the case. So adding why a quilt was made. Was it a gift? Did it make a social statement? Does it have a story? What inspired it? All this information can be included on your label. And will help future generations understand and appreciate the quilt.
With that said. How do you add a label to your quilt? One simple way is to purchase a pre made label. . Check out these cute labels from Fat Quarter Shop and Connecting Threads. Or you can make your own. Here is my preferred method.
I hope this helps you to better document your quilts. Looking for more help finishing your quilts? Try this post.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
