Becky's quilt obsession

Label making: Turning the binding on the Scrap Squad Project by hand – why did I start this? I made a label for the last corner, if I ever reach it. A little back art from leftovers for the small quilt project I’m doing from the same blocks as the scrap squad quilt. I’m in charge of the small quilt sale at the Guild’s Quilt show in September, so I need to finish some up. I’m playing with the leftovers and cutting some blocks with a template set I’ve wanted to try. The curved piecing isn’t bad. Happy Quilting, Becky

A Stashbuster member asked me to put some pictures up on how I made my labels. This is NOT my idea - someone else came up with this quick way to do labels. #1 - I use Word to make the label to print on "Miracle fabric sheets". I start 5" down from the top of the page. As I add information, I make the lines shorter, and centered, so they will fit into a triangle. #2 - After printing the label on fabric, heat-setting, rinsing, drying and ironing the label, I fold it in half. #3 - I use a 6" bias square and line it up on the fold, then rotary cut it on both sides. #4 - You end up with a triangle of fabric 2 layers thick with the fold at the top. #5 - Put the label in the corner of the quilt you want to label, and sew it in with the binding. You can slip-stitch the top down if you want. Some people suggest adding some pieces of the quilt fabric underneath the flap before sewing it down - to have some for repairs if needed.
