The label idea came from one of the blogs I read. Print out whatever you want on the label in a font you like. Find a fabric that is thin enough to see through, then use a fabric pen and trace the printed information. Fold over and sew the ends in, then sew it into the binding. It's easy, I think it looks nice and I like the way it fits on the quilt. Not too intrusive. The binding was some homespun I had, no idea where I got it though. This gets sent today----Yay!

Great job Mary! Love the label, I'll have to remember that!
Yet another work of art. and the label is great!
Yay, for a finish and looking good. Good idea on the label. I did the same thing when I was in a signature block swap.
Great finish. I love the warm colors that you used with the black. Very striking!
What a great idea for the label!
I love the colors of this! The label idea is wonderful also. I usually print mine on the computer anyway...

Great quilt. It looks like a great quilt for a guy too.
Fabulous quilt Mary! Cool idea for the label!
Very dramatic, Mary. I like it!
I love the quilt and the label technique, but would like to suggest that for your next label you include your last name and the last name of any recipients and your city and state. Documentation needs to be more complete for future generations who may wonder who the heck Aunt Mary is!
