Remeber to put a label on the back with a brief description of its making, for the long term recipient to read.

Remember to put washing instructions in the the label as well.
I love sampler quilts. So many varieties of blocks and so many colours and patterns available you couild almost spend a lifetime and not make the same quilt twice.

I adore the old patterns and love hand-work also. But I don't know too many people who love doing the binding LOL :D
