I just got done making a memory quilt for my Mother who is retiring in November. I went to the quilt shop and bought a pigma pen and all of her coworkers signed it. I can't wait until she sees it. Some of the other links say not to use a sharpie pen as it might damage the fabric. If you are going to do this please get a pigma pen.

Just a suggestion but it might be a good idea to iron a piece of frezzer paper the size you want to allow for writing onto the back of the fabric. This prevents writing being lost in the seam allowance and also stabilizes the fabric and makes it much easier to write on. Non quilters don't always understand about leaving enough fabric for seams. Gives a simple guide, you can just say write where the paper is :D .
