How to Label Your Finished Quilts

A good quilt label will identify your quilt and it’s a great way to give its story a little extra something.

Ways to Label Your Quilt

Today, I’m going to show you over 8 ways to label your quilts but first a little bit about why you should!

Just like a painter or a photographer will sign their work, a quilter should absolutely “sign” their work as well. It is a work of art after all!

METHOD 1

These labels don’t have the crucial information of your name or the date but you can use either fabric pens or embroidery to add those details in.

METHOD 2

Make extra sure your label doesn’t fade by tracing over a printable fabric label.

METHOD 3

You can actually make hand-written quilt labels. You can write directly onto a piece of fabric (or even the quilt backing) with a fine-tipped permanent marker.
