Let's add a label!

Over the years I have bought several types of labels to add to my quilts.

They always look so fun and interesting.

But adding a label to the back of my quilt has turned out to be quite challenging.  I find it hard to turn the edges and stitch the label onto the back.  Sometimes the edges are wonky, or the label ends up being crooked. :-(  I figured there had to be a better way to use these cute labels.

I trimmed the label to 1/4 inch of the design.

Cutting a 2 inch strip of coordinating fabric, I added it to all sides. I then cut a piece of scrap fabric to back it.............

place fabric right sides together and sew all around, leaving an opening to turn.

 Turn the label right side out, and press well.

 Now I have a label that I can just whip stitch to the back of the quilt.

SO much easier and turns out much neater.

Now, doesn't that feel better :-)
