Naming a quilt.

Personal choice. But I do name mine. Usually the name stems from what I call the quilt in conversation (First Quilt, Blue Irish Chain, Christmas Quilt), but sometimes I actually come up with a name that amuses me (Dear Jane Goes Dutch).

Examples:
Dillon's Critters - made in honor of a boy named Dillon, using a "Critters" charm pack.
Floral Rows - row of floral squares.

I've named some of mine. My first quilt I ever made was called my "Quilt of many Boo boos" because I made tons of mistakes on it (it was my first afterall). The first one I FMQ'd I named my "butt ugly quilt" and it still sits on the shelf waiting to have binding put on it.
The last one I finished the top of is called my "Twisted Rainbow" because it is from a Twister Pattern and it's a primary rainbow. I've made one I called a Crazy Rainbow, but once again the primary colors and the fact it was a Crazy quilt.

The first one I made was named: Lifes Lessons. It was for my sister and I told her that she just needed to remember the love that went into it and overlook the mistakes...
I don't always name mine, just when they are special.
