I am frequently asked about how to add a label to a quilt. It really is such a simple step – and yet, I’ve been notoriously bad about doing it. It’s definitely on my list of things to make a better habit! I’m updating this post in 2021 with some new ideas for labeling a quilt + a simple tutorial to show you how.
I am THE. WORST. at labeling my quilts. For years I’ve said I’m going to start doing it. I think of the dozens of quilts I’ve made over the years (which is not a few) I’ve labeled maybe 10. It’s a travesty.
I have all kinds of excuses. One being I don’t like my handwriting on fabric. The second being, it’s just one more added step that I need to think about and isn’t part of my routine.
Here are a few recent resources that I’ve found to help you label your quilts. (Unfortunately, Modern Yardage where I got the above labels is no longer in business.) But here are some other good options!
Unique Quilt Label Ideas
One of my favorite’s is Crazy Mom Quilt’s quilt label tutorial– she makes is so simple to do. I’ve used this method – simple, no thinking, easy to sew on.
If you’re looking for a sheet with a fun variety of printed label options, Spoonflower had a bunch of different options including here, here, here, and here.
Or if you’d like to make your own custom label (with option to add a photo too!) check out this Custom Quilt Label Tutorial.
How to Sew a Label to a Quilt
Whether you make your own or get some custom labels, here is an easy method for sewing a quilt label to your quilt. Give the label a little spritz of starch to make it nice and crisp. Using the starch, fold back the sides of the label – starting with the top and bottom, then the two opposite sides. The starch will make the edges nice and crisp and easier to sew.
You could also fold the fabric back on the straight edge of a piece of a cardboard cereal box to make sure your edges are perfectly straight.
Pin the label on your quilt – I like to put it in one of the bottom corners – and using a hidden applique stitch, sew the label in place. Slide the needle through the label, the backing, and batting, avoiding going all the way through the front of the quilt. I personally would recommend sewing it to the back of a new quilt before it’s washed, whenever possible. That way your quilt itself is still a little more stiff and then if you wash before you give the quilt away, you can make sure the label is still securely in place.

I too have made the resolution to label my quilts! All of the labels on Modern Yardage are gorgeous, i particularly like the variety pack – you can't go wrong there!
Birlot
Forget about the products, that site is super cool in the way it looks and works. Love it. And I am definitely going to need some of those labels. Thanks for the heads up.
Deb
Wow, what fabulous labels and having a choice with the variety pack you can pick ones that are appropriate to the receiver in some way. They are so cute. I'm like you Amy and hate my handwriting when trying to do it on fabric and a permanent marker, it never turns out nice.
MaryAnn Guappone
I love the "one of a kind" label, which really explains the fun and creativity of quilting. Lovely stuff
Britiney @ Consider the Lilies
I love the quilt labels, of course, but I think it's so fun that most of the fabrics are available in different scale. And the color matching option is so great! To be able to find fabrics in the colors you want! I love the bursting bloom pattern in all its colors! Thanks for a chance to win!!
Jill
I had seen some of their stuff at Pine Needles in Gardner Village, but I really like the Bloem in Nordic by Heather Dutton. Such great colors!
Waulene
I also appreciated the one about taking forever to make. Sometimes people just don't realize the time involved…
Becky N
I LOVE the "This took me forever" quilt label. Who knew I could have it all printed out for me?! I also like that they'll print your own fabric for you. I always wanted the baby's foot prints made into a fabric. Now I know where to go!!!
Myra
I love Autumn Equinox over at Modern Yardage. I haven't seen that line before. But I'd probably get quilt labels because they are so unique.
Linda
HI, what a neat shop!<br />I liked several of them>"made with love" was my favorite!<br /><br />msstitcher1214@gmail.com
Patricia
The care labels and bathing beauties are so cute.
Christine M
I hadn't seen these before. I just love the personalised labels. My favourite is the "this took me forever" label. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
lesleyana
I really like the "Quilt Wash Instructions Label With Writing And Symbols In Marker, Rainbow" to use professionally….love the "cuddle" instruction on it.
KarenOjai
I can't decide… so I'll just say the assortment set! Love to win it.
Mama Bell
So fun to see a company that carries these custom labels. I bought some small ones years ago and I am almost out. Thanks for letting us know about it.
anorthowife
I'm so loving these labels!!! I can't decide if I love the "Undertow" label or the "This Took Forever" one more!!!
Southern Gal
I need that last label! Seriously.<br /><br />I love the Bohemian collection of fabrics.
friedturtle
I like the Adrift in Coral Collection. Awesome labels.
Tamie
I really love the labels and the fact that you can choose the combination that you want. You do have to love those Took Forever labels. It is usually so true.
The Calico Cat
I love the this took forever label!
Lauren Honeycutt
Wow! I had been making labels with my embroidery machine, but they can be such a pain in the butt to do! This is way cuter and easier!!
Sarah@123quilt
I really like the quilt wash labels. I never thought to add that info to my quilts. Thanks for the chance to win!
Alicia
Love the quilt labels! Would love to see a smaller label for bags and small projects.
April Cobb
Hi Alicia. You can just put a note in the comments section at checkout that you want your labels shrunk down. Let us know just what size you want them, if you need them for a different project and we are happy to work with you. Just email me if you have any questions: april@modernyardage.com Take Care!
Leann__13
The lables are awesome! Specifically the wash ones. I get asked all the time how to wash the quilts I made. Maybe getting some of those would eliminate that problem.
Nancy
I like the labels. Also would like to see some that allow you to enter the date and your city and state.
April Cobb
Nancy, you can absolutely get whatever you want printed on the labels. Just just order and let us know what you want. Most people only put names, but we are happy to enter all the information you need as long as there is room. Sincerely, April Cobb –Modern Yardage
Kim
I am so glad you relied to that. I was thi king the same thing as Nancy. Yay!!
loganstitches
The Quilt Care Labels are great. I really like the Colorful Flags in Rainbow, but I think an assortment like you got would be best since it lets you match the label to the quilt.
Linda
All of the labels are so cute! I would have such a hard time choosing, so probably the variety pack would be my best bet. I guess I am pretty partial to the rainbow flag labels.<br /><br />My husband didn't just snort – he laughed out loud when I told him I was not buying any fabric in 2015 but intended to use my stash and scraps for all my projects. I've lasted 20 days so far, but it'
amy smart
Haha! I'm glad it's not just my husband! 😉
hollymade
Those labels look amazing! I love the Midnight Garden line, might have to snatch up some of that!
Corey :)
I would probably pick one of the variety packs. I'm new to quilting, and this would give me multiple to choose from!
Cathy
I'm so excited about this one!!! I'm just as bad at labels as you are apparently and have been wanting to do them for ages. I'm bookmarking it so if I don't win, I can buy some!!! 😀
lalaluu
I don't mind my handwriting, but even with freezer paper, it's a bit tricky writing on fabric so it can be nerve-wracking! I like the "Quilt Wash Instructions Label, Black & White" over at Modern Yardage. It's something I always forget to say or include in the card given with the gift. I love that it has a heart at the bottom that says "Use Often"!
Karen N
The fill-in labels look like a lot of fun!
Bettina
Wow! These labels are seriously lovely! My handwriting is of the drunk spider kind, so the already filled-in labels would be my choice
Vikki Gray
I love all the labels. I've been trying to figure out how I was going to label my quilt.
Anna
Love the care instruction labels and the customizable labels with printed names.
hiyacinth
Love the selection of great dots!
Tori
Wow, I love the labels! I've been handwriting mine, even though I don't particularly care for how it turns out.
Ashley P.
I love the quilt care/washing instructions. I always like including those with any quilt I give. The labels are also so cute!
greeneggs
What a cool shop! Thanks for introducing me to it!
Linda
Super videos and that Modern Yardage prints their own fabrics! Please put my name in the hat for the labels. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
shayne
I LOVE the labels!!!!! It would make labeling so much cuter!
Cynthia Brunz Designs
I really like the custom quilt labels and the labels with washing instructions. Both are going on my gift list. Thanks!
Anita
I love these labels. I have a panel of printed fabric labels I've been working my way through, when I remember to use them. I really like the blue blooming flower labels.
n10sgrrl
I like so many of them but I think I like the follar in gray best of all.
Mary
I like the labels that say "Stitched By" as I could use them on quilts for someone I give it to as a gift or the quilts I make for me. I am so neglectful to label the quilts "for me" in particular. These are awesome and completely new to me. Thank you for sharing this website!<br /><br />Mary
Betsy Lehman
I like the Needle & Thread and the Open Daisy labels. Also, the care instructions are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Rachel Booth
Love those labels! Modern Yardage is great!<br />Mrsrachelsbooth at gmail dot com
Laura B
I love the personalized shark fabric! Great for little boys.
Sara mayo
I like them all. Hard to choose a favorite, guess I would go with the variety pack.
stoffexperimente
I love the quilt labels. There just so much fun. And they would get me to actually label my quilts.
Helen
I would choose the variety pack, that way you could choose which one fit your quilt.
kimberlier
This is so cool! I have never labeled a quilt and I really should. This would be perfect! If I don't win some labels, I'm going to have buy some. Thanks!
Linda
Wonderful labels.
Megan
I think I would have to get the assortment. I would want to put the "this took forever" tag on every quilt but I think only certain friends would think it was funny. I love these, need to order some soon.
Karen
That was some fun shopping! My favorites are the quilt labels, both the washing instructions and the signature blocks. Genius!
Spanishlady
The variety pack for me. I would like to give them to a friend to encourage her to finish the quilts she has in progress. Kath
charlotte
I love the Berry Branch collection by Heather Dutton. I love all of the colorways. I think it would be a great stash addition.
SallyC
I love the quilt labels and the twelve days of Christmas quilt panel. Thanks for the heads up on this site.
Sarina
Thanks for the website referral. Such cute labels! I'm So terrible at labeling quilts. The custom name fabrics are darling as well!
Laura Chaney
This is such a great post and important topic. I love the stitched by label with the rainbow flags!
jen
What a great idea! I have a similar panel from sweetwater where I can write in my name – but these from modern yardage are so cute! I love the variety pack of labels.
Kim Seitz
Fun fonts and designs!
Elizabeth
I love the labels! I also love that you can shop by theme, so smart.
Stephanie
WOW! What a cool site! Thanks for the opportunity to win! qltdiva1@fuse.net
Quiltsmiles
Love those fill in quilt labels, but they offer so many other bits too. Saved the link for the future, thanks.
SuzyMcQ
Love, love, love the one-of-a-kind labels so much and would love to win some to use for quilts past, present, and future!
Emily Kim
Loved the labels and all the fabric collections they habe in stock! (Many I've never heard of)
Rachel
I also like the "this took me forever" label, but I've wanted to do a Quilt of Valor for awhile now and really like those labels – especially the flag banner oner.
Eloise
I love the labels! And especially if they print your name. I dont like writing on fabric either.
Susan Brehm
I love the 13 Custom Labels Variety – just like you got! They are so cute. I also agree about writing on it myself. Ugh. Thanks for the giveaway!
Sandy D
Wow I thought I was only going to see quilt labels at the site . There is a very good selection of them but the fabrics are gorgeous. I especially liked Between by Tracey Miller. A Great site.
Heather
I love, love, love the "Bathing Beauties" collection. It brought a taste of summer in the middle of a long, cold winter!
Stephanie
I love the "Uptown" panel, and thanks for turning us on to Modern Yardage! Those quilt labels are great, too!
quilter
I liked all the labels and especially the Needle and Thread and You're Sew Special. The care instruction labels are wonderful. <br /><br />Gloria<br />gyates625@bellsouth.net
LIttle Penguin Quilts
I appreciate that you let us know that remembering to label your quilts is one of your goals this year! I have struggled to remember to do that, too! I went right to Modern Yardage and looked at their labels! I love the ones that have the rainbow colored flags on them. These would make grewt gifts for quilty friends as well!
valentinegirl
How awesome–I love the quilt labels and would choose a variety pack to try a few different styles. They are so affordable I may get some even if I don't win. And yes, I would totally go back to that original blog post and add this as a footnote. What a great gift for a quilter. I would be thrilled to get some!!
Lynn Osborne
I also love the variety pack! Something else I do when I label my quilts is place small pieces of the main fabrics used in the quilt behind the label. If the quilt were to sustain small damage (hole or tear), the small pieces could be used to make a repair. Thanks for a chance to win, by the way!!!!
Kristen Kann
The "this took forever" labels crack me up! I think I would go for the variety pack, though, to mix it up!
Christine S
I really love all of Heather Dutton's designs! I need to try Modern Yardage!
Darlington Delights
I like the variety sets of quilt labels. Perfect for every occasion.
craftygramma
Hi! I love the Eden's Garden fabric, the variety labels, the everlasting hug label and the rainbow flags label.<br />thanks!
Pamela Klingensmith
In addition to those terrific quilt labels, the 2015 Shirley's Garden Calendar is a favorite of mine for a couple reasons. My youngest granddaughter's name is Shirley, plus the calendar reminds me of calendars my mom used to "color" using Tri Chem paints.
amylynne
Love love love the personalized labels!! They are perfect!!
Elizabeth - Whimsy Floral
I've seen them in action at Pine Needles and love that you can do a custom design — on a WOF big enough to be a piece-free quilt back, no less! I love all the quilt labels, especially Follar in Grey! 🙂
Jak and Will by Stephanie
aaahhhh!!! Too many choices! They are gorgeous. However, since I plan on doing quilts for the NICU for our local children's hospital this year, I think that maybe I would try making my own and just having those printed.But if I had to choose just one, it would be the paper lable one as I love how much information you can put on there and it can have a vintagy or moderny feel to it depending
Amy
My favorite of the labels is the Everlasting Hug one. It's just what I tell my nieces and nephews as they head off to college with their Auntie quilt. I also like Heather Dutton's Entangled and Berry fabrics.
Lynne
I like the Quilt of Valor products.
WKane
I really love the labels. I need to be better about labeling mine also, this would make it so easy!
Margaret Hauer
I just love the quilt labels – so unique and lovely!
Pamela Neal
I am lovin' Bloem In Nordic by Heather Dutton!
Lauren Deel
I am just miserable about labeling my quilts. But I LOVE these labels! I think they are definitely worth the "splurge." Though, I'm not sure I'd even call them a "splurge." They're great. So, I went to the site and I really love Gill Eggleston's fabrics. Oh, and the fabric with names on it…. cool! Thanks for reminding me about this cool shop.
Renea
I really like the Vintage Scroll quilt labels. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Colleen
I love the one that says this took me forever!
Carly R.
Thank you for introducing me to Modern Yardage. Love that they will print customized fabric and will definitely be ordering a few quilt labels!
Andrea
What a great resource. THANKS! I now have my first resolution made (Label all my projects from now on!)<br />I love Modern Yardage labels so fun and greta colors!
Carol
I like the personalized fabric with names. Kids would love that!
Patchwork and Play
Love the 'paper label' one! That is pretty unique idea! But there are so many great choices here….
Angela
Love these!! I especially like the quilt care tags. I bought a few labels for me and a few for an upcoming secret swap. 🙂
Stoddys
I loved the personalised name fabric, what a great idea for the backing of a child's quilt!
Merloo
I like a lot of their fabrics! I LOVE that it's American Made! 🙂
BJ
What a fantastic site! I make labels for most of my quilts, but they're so plain. I'll be ordering a few styles, but I particularly love the Everlasting Hug label. I put a similar sentiment on mine, but these look so much nicer. Thanks for the link! mtlakequilter@gmail.com
Sue
I love the paper label. It is just very unique looking. thank you for this opportunity.<br />
Margo Yang
You made labeling the quilt quite simple, I've got to try it. Thank you!!
Sue H
Thanks for introducing such a great shop. I love the labels, I will have to order some, much nicer that the labels I use at the moment.
Joey Wong
variety pack.
Judy Cinerari
I especially love the quilt labels from Modern Yardage. Thanks for the giveaway.
Timtirim
I have already met Modern Yardage. I love all their personalized labels, but my favorite is the Everlasting Hug. Thank you for the chance.<br />timea dot greman at gmail dot com
proth
I love the variety pack of labels. If I had several to choose from, I might actually label my quilts.
Tara
I need a variety pack! I have been planning to do something like this on spoon flower, but this is so much easier!
AnnieO
I'm not the best at labeling either! Those custom labels are really great. I like shopping by color at the Modern Yardage site and thinking how excellent it would be to get a custom printed fabric. Thanks for the chance to win!
Pank
Love the quilt labels. From 1000 stitches.
Lisa R
Love the labels and the pillow panels..
Gemini Jen NZ
I really like the range of labels they have – so many cool statements! I would love the variety panel. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Miggsie
Love the custom labels and the sunshine pillow kit – so cute!
Trix
Also really don't like my handwriting on the quilt. What a great idea! What I love is that I can randomly choose the labels I like! The challenge would be to choose 13 which I like the most, because those are all very nice! Love the colours and designs.
Susanne - Quilt it out
This took me forever – so fun! 🙂 I like the Ritzy Wedges In Party Blue – great blender fabric.<br />Susanne
Cheryll
I think the quilt care instructions label is a wonderful inclusion on a quilt that has been gifted to someone special. That way they get to LoVe your handmade quilt for years. This is a wonderful giveaway… perhaps I'll get lucky! Hugs xox
pennydog
They're really cool, I've been programming a text stitch on my machine lately, 2015 is the year of labels for me too. I have very little success printing my own labels so these are great. I like the Emma design fabric too.
Arianna Macy
I love all of the custom labels! I haven't labeled any of my quilts yet…
flutie66
Thanks for introducing me to the Modern yardage site! I love all of it! I love to click on the color grid and see all the beautiful fabrics in that family! I will definitely be using them in the future!!
Pam
Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway! I like all the labels, can see where the variety pack would be appropriate since it gives you options to match (or not) the actual quilt. I especially love the one that says it was stitched with love and it's a hug….when making a quilt for someone, the time working on it is filled with loving thoughts of the recipient, so there really
JoAnn Szark
Thank you for the intro to the web site! I am going to order the variety pack today,cause I can't wait
Quilter in the Gap
I went directly to the quilt labels 'cause if you're the worst I'm the second in command. I fell in love with the paper label labels (funny sentence). I may even order be for his contest is over. Thanks for introducing me.
Ginny
Great shop! I am so bad about labeling my quilts and smalls! I love all the labels and that you can pick and choose. I also love the fabric by Heather Dutton. Thanks for the referral, I will be back!
Susan Smith
WOW! What a great idea! I love these labels. I, too, am terrible about labeling my quilts. I always say that I'll go back and add a label but I never do. I love the label set that allows you to choose the designs you like. Thanks for sharing this wonderful product!
PatM
These customized labels are great! I have been thinking about labelling quilts and this is a perfect solution! Modern Yardage has so many exciting fabrics – but I love the florals!
Teresa Palmer
I love the personalized fabric. How cool would it be to put your families' name on it.
Janet Schultz
I liked the label Follar in gray. Nice neutral to go with everything! The Bold Basics looks like a fun set of fabric too! Thanks for the chance to win! shopgirl7232@yahoo.com
Ellie H
Great idea; the inly thing I would add myself if I had the labels would be the year which I would write on with an indelible pen.
Granny's Button Box
What a fab idea, just love the labels and care instructions. Will drop lots of hints for my birthday! Thank you for sharing. Regards Sharon
terry sharp
Wow, thank you for introducing the Modern Yardage site. I love all the labels and am going to order the personalized fabric to back a baby quilt for my nephew (as soon as his name is chosen!) – so cool
Camille Mendel
I do label my quilts but I'm always looking for a more efficient way. I don't like my handwriting either. I love that you can order labels from modern yardage. Camille@focus20.com
Karen
Love their labels…and all their fabrics!!! How have I never heard of Modern Yardage before???
Sigi G
These Labels are right up my alley too. My handwriting is not the best, especially when I try to be neat it seems. Love the variety and I have already found one I especially like, though I might have to add a few of the last label you showed on your blog. They would fit perfect for a few of my handmade projects :)!!
Bobbi D.
I am horrible at putting labels on my quilts too. 🙁 I love ALL of the quilt labels though. I think it would help if I had some of those, lol.
Mrs. L
I love the fill in labels!
New Salem Homestead
I only wished I knew about these sooner! All of my quilts would have had a label. I just ordered some for me and my BFF, but I would love to have more, any of them because they are all fabulous!
Michele
I got a new sewing machine that can do name embroidery and was just planning on trying it out tonight to make labels for quilts I already made for myself and my family that I could go back and attach them to! But I really like these labels. And the Amelia Harper fabric.
Heather R. Moore
I love the personalized labels too!
magistra
Oh my goodness, I love Modern Yardage! I really want some of the labels, panels, and fabrics, and I really like that I can buy specific letters to personalize some of my works. Thank you for sharing this site! It's affordable and has lots of cool stuff. I'm a fan!<br />Beth
Suz
Oh my goodness. . . the whole site is adorable. I could spend a fortune there, and would love every minute of it! Thank you for the chance.
Pine Point Cathy
The "Everlasting Hug" label is so sweet. Would be perfect for my next project – a comfort quilt for a friend who was widowed much too young. Thanks for the chance! basaran.family@rogers.com
Barbara Beyun
I love the Variety Pack!
dolores
I tell you girlie…we are sooooooo in sync with each other! I just sorted through all my fabric and made a huge pile to donate to our local hospice thrift shop AND I made a shelf with all my WIPs so I can see them staring at me and I can't start anything new until I finish something first AND I was thinking I really, really need to start putting a better label on my stuff….and then you go
Peggy
Wonderful "shop". Thanks for the information and suggestions. Love the idea of personalizing both fabric and labels. Will spend lots of time at this site 🙂
legato1958
The customied name labels are awesome… You're sew special….<br />Lovely giveaway!<br />Susie
Chris
LOVE them all! My favorite is the daisy and the vintage! I'd also include the "This Took Me Forever!"
Sharon @ www.CraftsnCoffee.com
I love these labels — genius! What else I love is the color matching function on Modern Yardage's site. When purchasing fabrics online, this is brilliant. No more guessing and ending up with fabrics that don't quite work together.
Buffy Skolnick
So glad to know about this site! Love that "Very Protective" Wash Instructions. Hard to choose a single favorite label…love the Entangle in Sage, Purple flags, Bouquet in Aqua….perfect!
Lori V
These are sooo great! Variety without having to think! No excuses now…
Kathelle - Strandom
The one with the needle, button and thread is my favourite. I'd put in on my daughter's quilt I've just finished! <br />I love how you can search by such specific colours on the website, I think it's just as well I don't live in America or I'd spend a fortune! Haha! My goals this year a very similar to yours, my WIPs bug me and it'd be great to get them all sorted.
magnoliasntea
I have never labeled a quilt! I hope that will change given the lovely assortment package. <br />Thank you for sharing the info on the shop and for the chance to win some labels.
Cheryl
Thanks for the chance to win, I would love some yardage of custom quilt labels, I am so bad at making them.
Kris
I would love love love these! I keep harping…yes harping on the fact that quilts need to be labeled but do I practice what I preach…? nope. 🙂
Jennifer
I love the variety of labels and the prices seem so reasonable. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sandy B.
This is a great idea!!! I'm ordering but would love to win some too. Great gifts for the quilters in my life. My favorite is the one that says this took me forever…your welcome. Ain't that the truth!!??
Margaret
I think the variety pack is perfect. How sad I've let quilts walk out the door without labels.
Pattie Crum
Once I finish a quilt the label seems like an after thought and I put off going back and hand sewing the label. Seems like I'm not alone and these labels are just the ticket.
Cherib104
I love the Everlasting Hug so much, I bought a set. Thanks for the tip
Brianna
I love the quilt labels! Thank you for pointing out this (extremely reasonably priced!) vendor!
Sherryl
Those quilt labels are fabulous! I also love that you can search by theme… hello damask!
Rosemary
I can't make a choice!! So absolutely perfect!! I will be placing an order today … as soon as I make a selection … These are great and convenient and colorful and clever, etc. Thanks so much for another great suggestion, Amy.
lilyrose
I love the idea of labeling my quilts! Especially the ones for my grandchildren. I guess I'd go with the variety pack because there are so many labels I like! Thanks for letting us know about this site!
gram k
Love the quilt care labels!! I never remember to add…..this would be so easy!
LisaK
The customized labels are really great, however I also love that they do custom designs on fabric. I have some great ideas that I would love to use this for.
Donna
Taking the time to label my quilts was a deterrent for me too until I ordered custom labels. They are great and I need to order more!
Muzikal Mama
You're labeling! Good for you!!! I can't decide between the Customized Lovingly Stitched for you (white/multi), the Little Birds, and the Vintage Scroll. It would really depend on what style the quilt was I guess. These are great!
karenf
Love the idea, thanks for sharing this resource. So glad to see that you could also add the place. Hmm if you ordered some preprinted with the date (year) that would be an incentive…
pkrueger
I love the customized labels. Would love to have some. Pattik@windstream.net
Kappy
I love these labels! I've never labeled any of my quilts but I want to now after seeing these FABULOUS quilt labels. I love too many of the designs to pick just one, so I'd have to go with the assortment pack 🙂
Lynn
This shop is new to me! Thanks for sharing. Out of the fabric I really like vintage romance . Love the labels
Mrs Quinn
Love the colorful flags quilt label in rainbow. I've been lookung for quilt labels and never knew about this site. These are absolutely perfect. Must pick some up if I don't win.
Cecilia
I love all of their labels. The hard part would be deciding which ones to buy.
Books_Bound
As a historian, I would urge you all to label your quilts! 🙂 I also think we shouldn't be too afraid of our handwriting–my dad had horrid handwriting, but I still love seeing notes from him, and our loved ones feel the same way about us! But in some circumstances, that personalization isn't necessary, so these labels are great. Another thing I often do is print a label on the computer
Nancy
What a great idea for labels…<br />I like the Willow Wisp collection… What a great shop. thanks for the giveaway!
McKell
I would adore some labels!
suz choppin
I love that you can get assorted labels.
Abigail deVries
I think the personalized fabric would be so cute as a backing for a baby quilt! I also love the "took me forever labels"
Jenn
Fabulous idea! Thanks for the resource. I liked the "design wall" feature on their website.
Pierro
Rosemary B here:<br />I love the webpage. It is easy on the eyes and I love everything!!<br />I like the quilt labels a lot. I really would love to have some with my name on them<br />Thank you Amy and April at Modern Yardage.<br />I am following on FB too now.<br />Sweeeet<br />rosemarybolton@icloud.com

I'm putting labels on my wish list.
Joyce
Like web site. Bright and easy to use. Like the everlasting hug label.
Melissa Smith
Variety pack is the way to go and might just get me to label my quilts…..
Karen Rhodes
I gravitated to Tracy Miller's fabrics and when I read her bio, I realized why. She designed all of those awesome flags I've bought over the years. She designed flags for Evergreen.
Micaela Tice
I think I like the labels the best on their site!
Mary Graff
I love the "Everlasting Hug" and the "This took me forever…" labels. They are all so cute though. I would definitely label my quilts with these cute labels!
jes1776
I like how the personalized labels give a professional finish to any quilt!

Love the variety packs for the quilt labels!

I really want to start labeling my quilts and have been researching the different ones out there. Thanks for introducing me to Modern Yardage. <br />cfquilts@gmail.com
Liz
Thank you for the introduction to this site. I like the care instructions and also the quilt labels. Like you I don't care for my handwriting on the labels but even if I use a printed label I am going to try to at least sign my name. This became more important to me after losing my parents, and realized some of my favorite things I have of theirs include hand-written recipe cards or notes.
Jessica
Love the rainbow flags and purple flags ones! 🙂 I am actually going to order some of the rainbow ones, but would love to stock up on them. 🙂
Deeje
I love the nautical stripes fabrics in the new designs. Would love to make a nautical quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.
Leslie Kohn
Amy, thanks so much for letting us know about this website! I love the website; it is so easy to navigate. I hate making labels so this article today is perfect timing for me (as I am just finishing up a baby quilt to give as a gift). I would have to choose the variety pack of labels. That way I wouldn't need to choose just one or two label designs! They are all too cute…
Genise Park
Thank-you for telling us about this website and the labels. They clearly have some awesome modern fabrics, and each designer is unique. Allison Beilke patterns have me dreaming of new quilts to do. But first to label those quilts!
StarSpry
I love the Colorful Flags in Navy and Mint Quilt Label. I also like that the fabric comes in small, medium and large designs! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
meshellay
I have many quilts that just need binding and labels. These are awesome, and I like you I don't like to write on fabric.
Karen
I like their organization. Especially the "triangles" section. How cool is that? My favorite print is probably Geo Garden in Blue. Thanks!
Kathy
Oh my goodness!! There is so much there, I had to stop looking because I would probably have missed the giveaway deadline!!!!!!!!!! I really like the Poppy Hop pillow panels. I'm going back to sign up for their newsletter. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Jill Potkalesky
This would be so awesome to win! I have never labeled a quilt or a crocheted blanket I've made although I keep intending to…I just don't know what to do! Thank you for the tips &help 🙂
Rita Montgomery
Thank you for turning us on to this site. I love it. I loved the Colorful Flags banner because I use a lot of color in my quilts. The variety labels would be very handy as well. Thanks for the chance to win.
Tammy in Ontario, Canada
I love the quilt care labels! I really like the custom labels, variety pack also! So much to choose from. Love your blog.
Wendy Booth-Boyd
What innovative ideas and designs…I will be back!… Loved the poppy pillow panels.<br />Thanks for the chance of labels….
happygoluckyquilter
I've bought fabric from modern yardage but didn't realise they did labels. I love so many of their designs but especially like Liz Abashi's happy camper collection.
Kelly
I've already been eyeing her labels so this is perfect timing!
LJ
MY had lots of cool things and I loved all that Cindy Lindgren had designed – not sure there was anything I didn't like of hers. I did think the label "May this quilt be an everlasting hug…" was so perfect. I would use that label on all quilts made for my nine grandkids!
Sharon J. Hughson
I like the care labels with instructions. Good idea.
Maggie
A yummy giveaway Amy!! I really like April's Quilt of Valor labels.
quilary
I like the look of "bohemian" by Nicole Ketchum – lovely colours and patterns. Thanks for the chance
Quilt Lady
Like that there are a lot of choices and it's easy to navigate the site.<br />
Meg
Love the paper tag labels!
Briawna
These are so genius. I love the colorful flags in both the purple and the rainbow. So genius. I may be ordering some of these tonight!
Karri Garza
I think I will order some labels. I need some but I too don't like to write on fabric.
Justina K
I love those labels! But the personlized fabric is so neat! Love that everything is affordable! I think I'm gonna order some of those labels anyway if I'm not lucky enough to win them 😉
Abby Iverson
I love the personalized labels with the cute bunting!!
Lauren
Thanks for sharing this awesome site!! I love the quilt labels and the collection Prairie!!
Kristen
I love the bathing beauties fabric!!!
There Once Was A Bee
I think the prints in the Hour Glass collection could make for a fun quilt.
phoebe waldmann
These are so cool! I'm going to have to order some quilt labels once I decide on a design. I really like the everlasting hug ones but wish they were colorful.
✾Jamie Lee Cooley✾
These are exactly what I need! I just ordered a few to try them out. I like that you can order the blank ones singularly. I also got a QOV label because I've had a quilt sitting on a chair in my bedroom for over a year waiting to be donated all because of the label requirements. This one will make that a cinch! Thanks!!!
LethargicLass
I have been buying from Modern Yardage for awhile now… I love being able to choose the size of a design
lorikorpela
Awesome site! Just ordered myself some labels. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jessica Graham
These labels are THE best!
Barb
WOW WOW WOW, this site is great. Thanks for introducing it to us! I am going to order labels…right now!
Kpatz
I LOVE the "This took me forever" label!! It's totally awesome =)<br />
M.W.
love them all<br />
Diane
I like how you are going to challenge yourself to label. So I take the challenge and will do it also. So I need to say I like labels best!
Judy S in New Hampshire
I love the labels! Enough so that I ordered some washing and care labels, plus some pre-printed with my name. Can't wait for them to arrive. I also shared the Modern Yardage site with lots of friends. Thanks for the great give away!
Tawnie Duckett
I really like the color button option for finding fabrics in that color range. The labels are awesome!
Tracey S.
The labels are awesome. I also loved the raven Halloween panel!!!
Anne Simonot
Oh my, so much struck a chord here! My personal goal is to use at least (net) 100 metres of fabric. From my stash, mostly! And to give away fabric I will never use. (Thankfully not too much of this, just some ugly bits & pieces.) And I think I have never labelled a quilt. Sad. Soo… I love the quilt labels at Modern Yardage. Even just the fill-in ones. Winning some would be great!
Alyce @ Blossom Heart Quilts
Oh my goodness, what a brilliant idea! I'm hopeless at labelling my quilts too, and something like their personalised labels would be just perfect to remind me to do it more!
Tiffany
What a cool shop! I would LOVE a set of labels, or maybe some of that fun personalized fabric. Maybe the dinosaurs? SO CUTE.
Sarah Hopkins
Love the "Everlasting Hug" label, and of course the care labels!
Karen
Just ordered variety pack. Yay!<br />Mrscummings2u at Gmail dot com
Phat Bobbin Girl ~Katie
I love these labels. I am much like you in that I hate my handwriting and NEVER label my quilts. Thanks for the chance to win a set of the cutest labels! I really like the variety set or the rainbow flags set.
Nancy Conley
I REALLY like the quilt label section! I think labeling quilts is just as important as sewing them! Love that you can custom order labels. SO cool!!! I never even knew that ordering custom labels was an option. What a great gift idea.
Karen
Visual Energy, Watercolor Geometrics, Happy Camper, Earth to Sky and . . . What a feast! And thanks for letting me know about this terrific resource, Amy!
tracy_a
Wow – what a great idea! I love it. I should just order a bunch to have around…which design should be my signature….or maybe the variety would be nice. Love this idea.
Sherree Chmitlin
I so wished that I would have known about this site a couple of months earlier. I had finished a baby quilt and was looking for a nautical theme for the back and they have the exact pattern that I was looking for and could not find. Love the quilt labels. I have been making my own, but would love to have the personalized style. Thanks so much for the giveaway. While on the site, I signed up
Diane
Cool shop! I like Berry Branch and Entangled by Heather Dutton among many others! Thanks for the chance to win!
Melanie
I really love these: Undertow Qulit Labels
giddy99
I love the labels, especially the customized ones with my name on them! I just ordered two sets, but I'm going to need more – I can use them on the bags and accessories that I make; not just quilts!
GabiP
I loved the paper-look label immediately. That's the one for me – it has a vintage vibe to it. Thx!
diane
I think sketched pods in the mushroom black and white color way is pretty cool. I like their labels too. I think labeling is important.
Kim
I love everything!!! Especially the antique looking label!! I.must.have!!!
bruinbr
Love these labels! I'm so guilty of not labeling my quilts as well that these would be perfect! My favorite is the colorful flags in rainbow! 🙂 thanks for the giveaway!
Dianne W
Another wonderful shop, we're spoilt for choice. I can't go past those labels though! I am terrible at labelling my quilts and usually use some old labels I've got in the drawer because I always forget about the label and then need to get it done at the last minute so I can give the quilt to its new owner. I'm off to order some personalised ones.
Jantine Urban
You are kidding, right, having to choose what I like best…. love the labels, the fabric collections and oh… the personalized fabrics. It is a shame my kuds are sooo big already or I would mske them a baby quilt with those!
Karen W
I like Eden's Garden by Tracy Miller because you can personalize the fabric with a name!
Iris
What a fantastic solution!! I will definitely order some quilt labels, how to choose. From my first visit I am tending towards triangulum, nice and modern. Thanks for the introduction.
Kathy ... aka Nana
I am like you … I don't like my handwriting on fabric (but hey, I'm not a fan of my handwriting to begin with). I'd given up finding some preprinted, personalized labels for my quilts. I'd choose "needle and thread quilt label in white" because I like how it says "made with love especially for you". Since my quilts are made for my loved ones, I want them
Aubrey
Oh my! I love those labels so much! I love the Quilt Care Labels as well! Oh they are so pretty! I need these labels in my life! =) Thanks for the chance to win!
Maria
I'm really loving the labels. I love this site…. Awesome. Thanks for the idea!
Dell and Janice
I loved the Salt Lake City hat panel. That's my home town so I ordered one to make for myself! I ordered quilt labels as well. I'm like you, Amy. Always intended to do that but it hasn't happened yet. Those will REALLY help! Thanks for the chance to win!
sewmissmouse
the quilt labels are fabulous! I really like their panels too – the calendar one reminded me of the souvenir tea towels my grandma used to get as gifts.
Shelor Robin
They are ALL wonderful–time for me to stop doing my own! But, I still love the one on your site that states the quilt took forever. People don't realize what a gift of time you are giving them. robinsheloratearthlinkdotnet
K Silvestro
Neat site! I'm loving the Colorful Mexico collection–vibrant and fun!
FlourishingPalms
Love those Bold and Graphic designs, particularly Breezin' Aquatic. And, of course, I love the custom labels. So handy, and cannot cost much more than Printed Treasures, which I seem to go through like water! Thanks for the chance to win.
Kay Losh
Love these! I think labeling is important, because I have a couple of quilts, that I think were pieced by my "Granny" and finished by my mother. A label would have confirmed this, and taken the guess work out of it! Besides, an artist always signs her work! :-)<br />
Elizabeth Robbins
This would be the kick-in-the pants I need to start labeling! I keep thinking I'll get a logo designed and have truly custom labels made, but in the mean time I just keep making un-labeled quilts. The have a fantastic site – I love all of the stripes options with various colors and widths. This might become my go-to quilt friend gift!
Ida
I love ALL the quilt labels and would have a very hard time picking just one type. I'm so glad they offer a variety set.
Caroline
Sew cute!! I love the colorful tags and the entangled labels:)
Edie
I also don't like doing labels. I have tried many methods, printing my own (fade), and machine embroidery (time), and think the preprinted ones would be an excellent idea. Thanks for the draw.
Donna Simonton
i love the paper tag labels. They remind me of tags we used in the military to label equipment that was in storage! Definitely something I will be getting for my quilty friends:)
Missy
I love the ones that say "this took me forever!" That is usually true about all my projects haha! I like that they offer an assortment of labels rather than having to buy all the same one.
Kristen Jones
I really want/need some of those labels. It's a brilliant idea because I'm just like you…never took the time to make one for my quilts. I'm going to order some. I'm new so I don't have but 4 quilts under my belt but I'm hooked and hoping to do more. I love the panels in her store and also the QOV. I'm wanting to make a Quilt of Valor to Donate but I've got go get
Shanzie
How cute are those fabrics? I want all of them!
Allison Sews
I love that their prints all come in different sizes
Nancy
I like the Triangulum in Modern Twist under personalized labels. They're actually all so very pretty. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
EverythingscomingupRosie
I checked out the Modern Yardage website and loved looking at the fabric lines especially "Willow Wisp" by Julie Hamilton in Mulberry.<br />
RMC
What a great idea to have printed labels. I love the 'Entangled in Sage' and 'Follar in Grey'. They are great neutral labels. Thanks Amy. Rach C
ashacpatel
Would love a chance to win these adorable labels! I, too, am not great at remembering to label my projects.
Martha Tracey
Bouquet in Sorbet label caught my eye. Unfortunately I rarely label my quilts and friends and family get frustrated with me! It would be nice to have a label all ready to sew on.
Sandy W
I've ordered fabric from modern yardage before. It's so cool how it all came together printed on one continuous piece of fabric. These also put extras along the sides. These labels are so cool, great give away
Kim Martens
These are great! I don't like using my own handwriting either. I recently made a couple labels by designing them on the computer and printing through my home printer on fabric. What a pain! I NEED these! I love the care labels too. I need a set of both! My favorite is the variety pack of labels so you have something to fit the style of all different quilts.
JulieD
I would love to get the quilt labels. I always have good intentions, but don't always make labels. I like the berry branch collection at Modern Yardage.
Trace
I love the design wall so you organize what you like, now all I need is an endless supply of all their cute fabric and I'll be set! ;-). Hope I win some cute labels!
anoushish
I love the cityscapes, especially bay view in multi
Crafty Coffin
They've got some really great prints – I love the idea of backing a quilt in the large version of Thicket in Mint (yay triangles!) but it would make a great cheater as well.
Linda J.
I am a fairly new quilter and have been told to label my first quilt, but until now that seemed to be WAY above anything I could do. Thank you SO much for sharing this site! It is definitely the answer to what I have been searching for. I have marked that site as on of my quilting favorites.
hannah
Love love love those custom labels! Especially the ones with the little bunting. These would save me lots of frustration, as I do label my quilts, but have the same issue with my handwriting. Thank you for the giveaway!!!
Aggie-G
I love the "This Took Forever" label. I think I may just order some!<br />
Elaine
Love those! I too decided to label my quilts mostly for "date" purposes. And as undecided as I always am, I like the medley, because you just never know!
Nancy
There are an amazing number of labels. I did like the one with the variety of personalized labels. <br /><br />Like you I am terrible at labeling my quilts. I gave away 15 quilts at Christmas. Not a one was labeled. This would make it so much easier. The idea of giving this as a gift to a quilter is a great idea. I will need to remember this for my daughter. Who is also a quilter and also
Jacqueline Frances
Hi there Amy,<br />What a great find!! I have a serious crush on the made by labels that have a daisy on them, with a yellow background. That bright colour would show up great on a dark quilt back!<br />Thanks so much for the giveaway,<br />Jacqueline in Pitt Meadows
Jane
I like the variety and the pricing!
Andrea York
What great labels! I love the "this took me forever" label cause sometimes it seems like it does take forever for me to finish something! Thanks for telling us about this great shop-now back I go to pick out some labels..
Sew Fly
Wow! These fantastic labels are like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. Thank you for sharing, and for all the inspiration you provide! Mary in Ohio
Courtney St. Roman
Wow! What a cool site/idea. I really like the knotty personalize-able fabrics and the quilts of valor labels, since I just finished my first QOV and gave it as a Christmas gift! Hopefully, I'll have an opportunity to do more and could use those labels. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Rachel Pryer
I love their personalized labels. I can never decide what to write on a label, these would make my life so much easier!
Rachel Pryer
I love their personalized labels. I can never decide what to write on a label, these would make my life so much easier!
Beth
I think it is fantastic that they have a Quilts of Valor labels section. Because it is ridiculous that the labeling requirement is something that holds me back a bit from making a QOV–I just know how long it would take me to get that part taken care of. But if I had a stack of those darling labels…
Gloria Cotten
I absolutely LOVE this site!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! I have been looking for some time for inventive, customizable labels and for care labels for my quilts. My handwriting is not beautiful on fabric either! I also love the variety of modern fabric designs they carry. Many of these I have not seen elsewhere. I will be spending a LOT of time with Modern Yardage!!
Mossie
Those labels are the bomb!
Marcia Kennedy
I am always running late getting my quilts finished. Usually the quilt goes out the door without a label. I NEED preprinted labels to let everyone know I made this! Love your site!
Love
I like the Oma fabric collection. So fun!
Deairdre
I just love the mushrooms in the forest floor collection!
Kim
I am THRILLED to read in above comments that I can add any text I want to include dating!!!! Thrilled!!!!

I have a resolution to label my quilts this year too. I am also hoping to go back and label the quilts I have that my grandmas and great grandmas made, as none of them are labeled either. So I want some of her labels, it would make this process a lot easier!
Audrey Mulloy
I love the different quilt labels!!!
Lynne Shandley
I really like that "this quilt took me forever label" and also the quilt care labels – exactly what I need!
Teresa Stanulis
I love the customized labels best, but I also like the Holiday Sparkle fabric!<br />tstanulis@verizon.net
snowcitygirl
I love the variety. I love the little labels for the quilts. I used to make my own, or buy some preprinted, but they were messy or didn't match the theme of my quilt. I like the lettering fonts on all of these.
Robin (noteverstill/noteversewing)
I love the "one of a kind" ones!
Arnden
This is a great idea! I think I have labeled 2-3 of the 30 quilts I have made. I really like the Personalized Quilt Labels like the ones you used, but I also like the quilt care instructions. What a great idea! Thanks! arnden yahoo
