Links to a two-part blog post from Jaybird Quilts on how to leverage Spoonflower to create quilt labels that will lend a high quality finish for your quilts and projects.
One idea: create a label (or two) within the size of a test swatch (8" x 8"). That way, a custom label with print included can be created for each quilt. Spoonflower also links with PicMonkey.com so no special software is required. https://www.spoonflower.com/designs/new
