Just remember that the more you have to solve a problem with a quilt, the more unique it becomes.
I ordered my batting from Doughty's and have more than 10UK Pounds shipping cost for 3 metres of the stuff - Still when it does arrive I could take pleasure in showing it to the numpty in the fabric shop, but I won't!
To tell the truth, @Diane i don’t tend to label my quilts beyond a ‘made by hand with love’ tag when I remember. But - I do think it’s a good thing to do to label them. Memories fade, and it’s good to remember who made you a gift and when. Plus - you might end up with commissions from impressed randoms.There is another good reason to tag things. I know we don't see our quilts as precious heirlooms, but there is a chance that a future generation might like to know where the quilt came from. One of my mother's most treasured possessions are two quilts which were made by her grandmother and great aunts over one hundred years ago. There are no labels on those, but we are lucky to know where they came from. One is a baby quilt and it has been used for all the grandchildren right up to my children, for nap time at grandma's. I doubt I will be able to do the same for my grandchildren, if I ever have them, as these quilts are now quite fragile.
