It’s Not Done Until It’s Signed!

Do you label your quilts? Like any work of art, a quilt is not finished until it has been signed. Plus, it’s important to document your work for future admirers.

If you don’t label your quilts, we encourage you to reconsider. A simple label is all it takes to finish a quilt.

Creative Ideas for Easy Quilt Labels

At the very least, quilts should be labeled with your name and the completion date. It’s also nice to say who the quilt is for and to mention whether it’s for a special occasion, like a wedding. Some quilters go on and add a bit of a poem or other embellishments.

Creative Ideas for Easy Quilt Labels

There are a number of ways to make quilt labels. Some are little works of art appliqued to the quilt back while others are simple labels sewn into the binding.

In the following video Laura from Sew Very Easy shows several quilts she’s made over the years and the labels for each. You’ll find a lot of ideas for use in various situations. Plus, Laura covers some easy methods for making labels.

Whether you choose to design each label so it’s specific to the quilt or use a simple generic label for every quilt, you’re sure to find ideas here to get you started with your own labels.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
