Mine are large compared to most, but I like to put lots of information.

Labels like this will be a real treasure in years to come. I can just hear your great-great-grandchildren chatting about you. I love this.

when you stitch the label to the quilt back, does the stitching show on the front side?

I just applique stitch the label on the quilt back. Then you are only putting the needle through one layer of fabric, not the complete quilt sandwich.
