Do you put a label on your quilts?
#22
I purchased C. Jenkins Miracle Fabric Sheets and either locate clip art borders/frames that I can add text to, print on fabric side, and follow instructions on the package to heat set and cold set the label, then turn under 1/4" seam and hand sew onto the quilt back. Sometimes, I might use a photo I've taken and add text on top.
I like the idea of using interfacing to make a clean edge. The 1/4" seam turned under isn't that easy to keep straight.
I do have an embroidery attachment for my machine....only used once in 5+ years. Someday!

I label all of my quilts.
There are a few different ways to do it and it sounds like you're on the right track!
Yes, you can applique on fleece if you carefully stitch it.
I can't wait to see your finished project. Post pictures of it please!

I use a good grade of muslin cut to whatever size I need to give the information about the quilt. I use a Pigma pen or a fine point Sharpie to hand write the information because I think that is more personal, sort of like having my mother's recipes written in her own hand. I frequently sash the muslin with fabric from the face of the quilt.
Always put a label on your quilt with your name, the name of the quilter if there is one, the date and the location and if you want, the name of the recipient. Someone in the future will want to know as much about the quilt you have made as they can find out and you are the best one to tell them. froggyintexas
