I love to quilt! My favorite quilts to make are baby quilts and now that we have our own grandbaby I get to use some of the ones I’ve kept like this one in the photograph above.

I was always on the lookout for sweet little quilt labels to sew on the back of the baby quilts I made, especially when I gave them as gifts to my nieces and nephews to welcome their precious little ones into the world.

I pretty much came up empty-handed…until now! When I made my most recent quilt to give away at a family member’s baby shower, I had fun creating my own quilt labels! Here’s a picture of the 10 quilt label designs I created for the baby quilts I love to make:

And here’s a picture of the 10 quilt label designs I created for quilts I make for my own home or to give away to grown-up family and friends. (Zoom in and you can see the Scripture I included on each one of them!)

Here’s the quilt I made recently and added my very first quilt label (the parents-to-be are decorating with a Narnia theme).

And here’s the oh-so-fun quilt label I designed and sewed into the corner on the back!

After washing the fabric and cutting out the cotton label, I folded over two of the raw fabric edges.

Then I pressed it flat.

Next I pinned it in place with the raw edges aligned in the corner of the quilt.

I machine stitched around all 4 edges.

Then I sewed on the binding.

Here’s what it looked like when it was all done!

Then I wrote on the label with my favorite fabric permanent marker…and gave the gift as a keepsake on the mommy-to-be’s special day as we gathered together for her baby shower.

But wait!!!!

Guess what?! The exciting news is this:

The best thing about all this is that I decided to make them for sale for YOU so you can have fun adding these to your family heirlooms as well.

CLICK HERE to hop on over to my shop at Spoonflower to see the selection of quilt label designs I’m creating and selling.

You can buy 2 of them as a test swatch, 12 of them as a fat quarter, or an entire yard to use or give as gifts to your quilting friends. What a great gift idea to take along on your next quilter’s retreat to share with the other gals! Plus, if you’re making a special quilt for that special someone you know, adding one of these labels on the back helps make your beautiful heirloom even more of a treasure.

Happy quilting!
