I would like to greatly encourage you to label your quilts with your name and date. My mom currently has 10+ quilts that were made by family members. Thankfully, she knows who made them but we don't have dates on them. And she has not written down who made the quilts which I am hoping to do soon. I have taken photographs of most of them. I have a couple of quilts that were made by "great grandmas" but don't ask me who made them or when because no one in the family has any idea.
And while I am at, can ask you please do the same with photographs. There is a wonderful album of my family's pictures from the 1800s but no idea who they are. My grandma knew who everyone was in the pictures but no one wrote down the information before she died. So sad that all that family history is lost because no one took the time to write down the information.
On the plus side, one of my grandmas signed and dated the quilt she gave to Dad so we will always have her signature.
