Thanks so much. I always struggle with labels. :-)

Well, durn it - I didn't have much luck with this method. Washed and ironed fabric as per directions. Ironed onto freezer paper and trimmed top with rotary cutter but it still jammed up in the printer. I think I may try one more time and not make my fabric the full size of the paper but just in center of paper. Then use scotch tape on the part where fabric and paper meet and see if that will keep it from jamming. If that doesn't work, I am looking for pigma pens and will just write out my labels by hand. I have a Kodak printer. Wonder if another brand might do better???

I was intrigued and read your instructions, as I have also made my own quilt labels...I haven't used this method, so found it interesting! Thanks!

You can also pretreat your fabrics with chemicals designed to make the inks adhere to your cotton fabrics, and is cheaper than buying fabric sheets in the quilt stores. The company that I buy from is listed below. http://www.cjenkinscompany.com/

I like to scan a block from my quilt into my computer. I then can print it out in color on my pretreated label (fabric ironed to freezer paper, trimmed to size) and walla! I have a beautiful color block label.
