Quilt Label
A fabric label attached to the back of a quilt documenting the maker, recipient, date, and occasion.
A quilt label is a piece of fabric sewn to the back of a finished quilt that records important information: the quiltmaker's name, the recipient's name (for gift quilts), the date, the occasion, and sometimes a brief note or story. Labels transform a quilt into a historical document. They can be hand-written on fabric with permanent ink, embroidered, printed on fabric sheets, or embellished. Many quilters consider labeling a quilt one of the most important steps — unlabeled quilts quickly become anonymous artifacts.
Practice makes perfect.
