Avery's Quilt: Labeling- the final step

To label the quilt for gifting, I turned towards the last and final detail which was to apply a label to the back of the quilt for gifting.

With a few tips and tutorials my label to gift this quilt began to develop.

I referred to this very helpful tutorial: A quick quilt label method

and in developing my own method for tagging this quilt.

I used machine embroidering methods to make a naming label

and gifting for the baby quilt .

The pink butterfly fabric is used for the embroidery

& lettering work and once I tested,
to configure the align with all the wording.

New to machine embroidery,
I attempted to set the letter and wording into placement by formatting it into alignment.

This was my outcome.

Once completing the embroidery work.

I measured & cut strips from one of the favorite floral prints that shall be sewn and encase the embroidered label to frame it.

The piece with the label is now framed & ready to prep for a "quilt patch"

The patch shall be applied to the back.

By measuring the label and proceeding to cut to size for the backing

time to sew the back to the front side which holds the label.

With right sides together all four sides are sewn.

A slit is cut in the back piece at the center for turning.

With a few details worked out for nice corners and pressing time to....

hand sew the quilt patch carrying the label to the back of the quilt for

Personalizing and Gifting.

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt. As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it. And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics. For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today and rather excited for it to be soon gifted. However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes. That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes. It made me focus a lot more, and in

Pressed each fabric piece by color group , and cut 2 strips each -measuring 2.5 in width from each fabric A total of 18 strips when completed. Green Strips The tips below were helpful to keep in mind as I ironed today and to cut, sew & pressed the sewn seams. Press each seam : Often reminded to press seams as sewn . And e ven more important when piecing a quilt! I lightly "press" set each seam. This manner achieved by pressing & for best results and not necessarily as what is referred to as "ironing .
