Before You're Done
Quilt Labels
Best practices are to have them - and yet many quilters struggle! It's an important part of this craft. Here are links to a two part blog post from Jaybird Quilts on how to leverage Spoonflower to create quilt labels that will lend to a high quality finish for your quilts and projects.

One idea- create a label (or two) within the size of a test swatch (8 in x 8 in). 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
