You can take an 8" square, fold it in half wrong sides together and press. Lay the raw edges along with the edge of the quilt (that hasn't been bound, yet). You can finish the raw edges of the label as you are sewing down your binding; the binding will cover it. Then hand stich the folded edge. <br /><br /> Pat Sloan has a tutorial on how she makes hers with just a triangle here: http://blog.patsloan.com/2014/03/pat-sloan-triangle-label-tutorial.html<br /><br /><br />Busy Little Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030043135910710800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689583641548360789.post-13852713740313471572014-04-29T11:16:03.498-04:002014-04-29T11:16:03.498-04:00I'm so glad you mentioned labels!

I can't believe I forgot. <br /><br />I love the idea of SewJo Saturday. I did some sewing on Saturday and finished making some little parts of a bigger block. It was fun to get my "sewjo" on!

I also use the $5 swatch size to make special quilt labels even incorporating pictures. Lately I like a square folded diagonally and sewn into the corner with the binding.
